Shimla, Feb 9 (PTI) Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu-led cabinet on Friday gave its approval to frame Rules of Business and Procedure in respect of the Himachal Pradesh Rajya Chayan Aayog.

The cabinet in its meeting held here under the chief minister's chairmanship gave its nod to constitute cabinet sub-committee under Deputy Chief Minister Mukesh Agnihotri's chairmanship to examine the legal aspects of the results held up on account of police enquiry of the disbanded Himachal Pradesh Staff Selection Commission, Hamirpur.

Industries Minister Harshwardhan Chauhan, Revenue Minister Jagat Singh Negi, PWD Minister Vikramaditya Singh and Ayush Minister Yadvinder Goma will be the members of this cabinet sub-committee, a statement issued here said.
