Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu while presiding over a high level meeting on Monday, said that the sate government was contemplating to formulate a new compassionate employment policy.

Himachal Pradesh BJP president Rajeev Bindal had been the health minister in the party-led government from 2007 to 2012.
The state government has fulfilled 5 out of 10 major guarantees as promised to the people of the state, he said.
The state government will also extend financial support for construction of five-kilometer railway line from Jaijon to Polian costing approximately Rs. 3400 crore, he added.
During an event at Haroli, he handed out cheques to the beneficiary women.
The state government is steadfastly committed to completing the project within two years, with adequate funding provisions, CM Sukhu said.
Sukhu said that Rs 153 crore have been released to clear the liabilities, including a hefty burden of Rs 90 crore left by the previous BJP government.
