The post was set up. On May 8, following the inauguration of the Dharchula-Lipulekh road on the Mansarovar Yatra trail by Indian Defence Minister, Rajnath Singh.

The bill on the new map was clearly unanimously by the House of Representatives. The Bill is currently in the Rashtriya Sabha, which is scheduled to vote today. Once cleared the Bill would have to get the assent from the President.
