GUWAHATI: Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has taken a slew of initiatives to activate various departments. He is doing it through the involvement of ministers and ruling party MLAs. If the Government forms a consultative committee against each department, the Chief Minister s efforts, it seems, can yield better results.
The Parliamentary Affairs Department has the rule to form a consultative committee against each department of the Government. Such consultative committees headed by departmental ministers concerned as chairpersons have both ruling and Opposition MLAs as members. According to rules, a departmental consultative committee has to hold at least two meetings a year.
