After taking the oath as Chief Minister on May 9, Suvendu Adhikari chaired his first cabinet meeting on Monday, where he approved the transfer of land to the Border Security Force (BSF) for fencing along the India-Bangladesh border. The cabinet made six significant decisions, including the implementation of the Ayushman Bharat scheme in the state.
