Nipamacha Singh returns as Manipur CM

Wahengbam Nipamacha Singh was today sworn in as chief minister of Manipur at the head of a 34-member two-tier coalition government.

The swearing-in ceremony, scheduled for 1045 IST, was deferred to 1530 following the chief minister-designate's failure to submit his list of ministers.

Governor Ved Marwah administered the oath of office and secrecy to the ministers.

Of the 34 members in the Council of Ministers, 23 are of Cabinet rank while the rest are ministers of state. L Chandramani Singh will be the deputy chief minister while five ministers of state will hold independent charge.
