Chandigarh. The Punjab cabinet on Friday approved the recommendation of Governor Banwarilal Purohit to dissolve the 15th Punjab Assembly.
A decision to this effect was taken during a virtual cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi at his official residence here.
Disclosing this, a spokesperson of the Chief Minister’s Office said that the Governor of Punjab has the power to dissolve the state assembly as per sub-clause (b) of clause (2) of Article 174 of the Constitution.
This move, being a constitutional requirement, will now pave the way for the formation of the 16th Punjab Vidhan Sabha (Vidhan Sabha).
At the end of the meeting, the Chief Minister thanked all his cabinet colleagues, officers, employees and people for overall development and maintaining peace in the state during the tenure of the present government.
He also congratulated the incoming government and expressed hope that it would seriously implement the promises made to the people.
He hoped that the decisions taken by his government in public interest such as reduction in electricity rates, reducing VAT on oil, sand and gravel rates would be continued by the next government.
