She became angry over the issue and immediately left the meeting hall and the secretariat, the source said.

As soon as the CM left the secretariat, the meeting was shifted to the office of deputy chief minister Nirmal Singh.

Soon a delegation of the ministers headed by Singh also left for the official residence of the chief minister and the meeting was still going on.

The ministers are trying to placate the chief minister, the source said.
