Shimla, December 19
Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Sukhu tested positive for covid on Monday ahead of his meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi scheduled for 11 am.
The covid test was undertaken as part of the protocol before meeting the PM. Although Sukhu is asymptomatic, the meeting with the PM and all his engagements have been cancelled.
It was a courtesy call on behalf of Sukhu after assuming the office of chief minister. He was to return to the state capital on Monday afternoon after meeting the PM but now, he could be in quarantine for five days.
Even though, it is still not confirmed, there could be a rethink on the holding of the winter session of the Vidhan Sabha which was to commence on December 22.
