Assam becomes first to set up 8th state CPC

Notably, Assam in January, became the first among state and Union Territories (UTs) to set up its 8th state CPC, after the Centre commissioned and set up its panel last year, Sarma said in a post on social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter).

He also named Assam’s former Additional Chief Secretary Subhas Das as Chairman of the commission.
