    Punjab CM Channi allocates ministerial portfolios: Here's who gets what
    Some of the key portfolios which will be held by Punjab CM Channi include power, excise, mining and geology, environment, and civil aviation.

    Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi allocated portfolios to his ministers on Tuesday. This came after the new CM carried out his first Cabinet expansion on Sunday. While Channi has kept 14 departments for himself, his two deputies were given plum portfolios such as Home and Health. Channi took oath as Punjab's CM on September 20 after Captain Amarinder Singh resigned from the post.
