Daunting road ahead for Virbhadra Singh in sixth innings

On his first day in office, Virbhadra Singh ordered the transfers of some police officers, even though it was a public holiday on account of Christmas.

On the same day, the cabinet, at its first meeting, decided to review all the major decisions taken by the Dhumal-led government in the past six months.

Virbhadra Singh, who has been credited with reforms in education, social, infrastructure and power sectors, has served as chief minister of the state for over 16 years.
