More than a month after assuming office, the Chief Minister on March 4 allocated portfolios to ministers. Khemchand Singh will also oversee departments that have not been specifically allocated.
Deputy Chief Minister Nemcha Kipgen has been assigned Rural Development and Panchayati Raj and Tribal Affairs and Hills, while Deputy Chief Minister Losii Dikho will handle Public Health Engineering and Forests, Environment and Climate Change.
