A tense confrontation between Delhi Police and Himachal Pradesh Police in Shimla over the arrest and transit of three Youth Congress workers ended early Thursday as the Delhi team left Shimla with the accused following a court’s transit remand order.
The controversy triggered by PWD Minister Vikramaditya Singh’s comments on “outsider” IAS/IPS officers has split the Himachal cabinet. With the Chief Minister issuing a subtle reprimand and other ministers voicing disagreement, the stage is set for a stormy cabinet meeting on January 19.
