Himachal financial crisis: CM Sukhu, ministers, CPS to forego salaries, allowances for 2 months

Under increasing pressure from Opposition BJP members in the House and employees' unions outside, Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu has decided to implement stringent austerity measures to drive significant savings and ensure the optimal distribution of resources for public welfare and development.

In a surprising announcement in the state Assembly, Chief Minister Sukhu revealed that his ministers, Chief Parliamentary Secretaries (CPS), and Cabinet-rank appointees—such as chairmen and vice-chairmen—will forgo their salaries and allowances for the next two months due to the ongoing financial crisis in the state.

Sukhu stated, “After discussion in the cabinet, all the members of the cabinet decided that until the state sees good improvement in the coming times, we will not take any salary, nor TA, nor DA for two months.”
