The much awaited expansion of the Punjab Cabinet has finally seen light of the day over the weekend. Punjab Chief Minister Capt. Amarinder Singh inducted nine new ministers into his Cabinet. While new ministers have been inducted into the Cabinet, some MLAs, who had pinned their hopes on becoming ministers, tendered their resignations in protest against not being handed ministerial portfolios. In other news, taking note of the rising public outrage against two recent incidents of child rape in Kathua and Unnao in India, the Union Cabinet passed an ordinance last week awarding death penalty to those perpetrating this crime against children.
