After being voted to power in 2021, the Himanta Biswa Sarma government in Assam removed the monetary cap for government advertisements in print and electronic media.
According to a brochure detailing the Sarma cabinet’s decisions, released last week to mark the state’s 100th cabinet meeting, the information and public relations department was exempted from the finance department’s ceiling weeks after Sarma took charge as the CM in May 2021.
