Chandigarh, June 10

Capt Amarinder Singh on Monday ordered the constitution of another consultative group, taking the total number of such groups, aimed at assessing and expediting the implementation of the government’s flagship programmes, to nine.

The new group, on revamping of medical education, is headed by Medical Education Minister OP Soni, with Health and Family Welfare Minister Balbir Singh Sidhu and Public Works Minister Vijay Inder Singla among the members. Several MLAs and officers are part of the group. According to an official spokesperson, the group was to be set up along with the other consultative groups, but was inadvertently missed out.

This seems to have been done to appease Soni, who had expressed his disappointment on being left out of the consultative groups, along with Navjot Singh Sidhu.

Earlier on Saturday, the CM constituted eight consultative groups mandated to review and assess schemes such as farm debt waiver, universal health insurance, Ghar Ghar Rozgar, food security, and Mission Tandarust.
