New Delhi: In what is being seen as Narendra Modi's attempt at "minimum government, maximum governance" and a departure from the erstwhile Congress-led government's power structure, the prime minister on Tuesday dissolved four cabinet committees.
These are the cabinet committee on management of natural calamities, cabinet committee on prices, cabinet committee on World Trade Organisation (WTO) matters and cabinet committee on Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), the Prime Minister's Office said in a statement.
