The Gamlin ministry was the 14th council of ministers of the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh headed by chief minister Jarbom Gamlin which was formed on 5 May 2010 following the sudden demise of chief minister Dorjee Khandu in a helicopter crash.[1] The ministry remained in office until chief minister Gamlin's resignation on 31 October 2011.
History[edit | edit source]
On 30 April 2011, a helicopter carrying the Chief Minister Dorjee Khandu and four others from Tawang to Itanagar went missing. The remains of the passengers and the wreckage of the helicopter were found on 4 May 2011 at the crash site.[2] Following the demise of the chief minister, then state Power Minister Jarbom Gamlin was chosen as his successor by the party leadership and the MLAs and was sworn in into office the following day by governor Joginder Jaswant Singh.
Cabinet formation[edit | edit source]
Days after being sworn in as the chief minister, Gamlin expanded his ministry on 20 May 2011 and inducted 11 ministers. He inducted all ministers from his predecessor's cabinet which included Kalikho Pul, Nabam Tuki, Chowna Mein, Tako Dabi, Setong Sena, Tanga Byaling, Atum Welly, Takar Marde, Honchun Ngandam and Bosiram Siram. He also included newcomer Pema Khandu who was the son of late chief minister Dorjee Khandu.[3] The portfolios were assigned to the ministers later the same day.[4]
