  "summary": "Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has issued an order to all ministers in Assam, directing them to inform local MLAs in advance before visiting their constituencies. This directive follows a controversy over Cabinet Minister Biswajit Daimary's recent visit to Tinsukia district without the participation of local elected representatives, Pulak Gohain and Sanjay Kisan. The Chief Minister's Office emphasized that this practice would improve coordination between the government and elected representatives, ensuring the smooth conduct of official engagements. The order specifically states that MLAs should be informed even when their presence is not required for departmental meetings or official reviews, as it is good administrative practice.",
