Uttarakhand: Khanduri brings a new lease of life

As he completed one year in office on Saturday, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Major Gen (Redt) B C Khanduri has earned laurels as an able administrator. He is seen as a chief minister who has brought down the corruption level and infused a new life into the Himalayan state. Khanduri became the fourth chief minister of the 8-year-old Himalayan state (carved out of Uttar Pradesh) on March 8, 2007 after demolishing a Congress regime.
