The Himachal Pradesh cabinet is set to convene at 12 noon on Friday (September 20, 2024) at the Secretariat in Shimla to deliberate on several significant issues.
Among the key topics on the agenda is the potential recruitment of 100 Van Mitra (forest friends) to bolster the state’s forest conservation efforts. This decision is eagerly awaited as it could provide much-needed support to the state’s environmental initiatives.
Recruitment of Van Mitra
In addition to the Van Mitra recruitment, the cabinet is expected to consider forming a committee to address the long-standing problems faced by street vendors across the state. The move aims to bring relief to thousands of vendors who have been struggling with regulatory and operational challenges.
The meeting will also focus on the recruitment drive in various government departments. Discussions may lead to the filling of vacancies in the Printing and Writing Materials Department, which has been facing a shortage of personnel.

Review of strategy on monkeypox
Health concerns are also on the table, with the Health Department’s ongoing efforts to prevent the spread of monkeypox in the state likely to be reviewed.
Another contentious issue that may be brought up during the meeting is the ongoing mosque dispute, which has garnered significant attention. The cabinet is expected to deliberate on possible resolutions to this sensitive matter.

Pending allowances of employees
Furthermore, the cabinet will likely discuss the arrears and pending dearness allowance owed to government employees under the new pay scale. This issue has been a point of contention and is critical to maintaining employee morale and satisfaction.
The cabinet may also take steps to upgrade the divisions and sub-divisions of the Public Works and Water Power departments in several assembly constituencies. These upgrades are seen as essential for improving infrastructure and service delivery in the state.
The meeting will address the measures needed to improve the state’s financial condition. With Himachal Pradesh facing economic challenges, the cabinet is expected to explore strategies to enhance fiscal management and ensure sustainable growth.
