“Law and order situation is improving in the state. I have come here to take advice from the Home Minister,” Singh told reporters before the meeting. Singh along with a few of his cabinet colleagues and party MLAs reached the national capital on Thursday, officials said.
Sources also informed that Shah is likely to hold a meeting very soon with civil society organisations from the state.

The Opposition Congress has been blaming the BJP government for the current situation and demanded the dismissal of Biren Singh.
