The Gamlin ministry was the 14th council of ministers of the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh headed by chief minister Jarbom Gamlin which was formed on 5 May 2010 following the sudden demise of chief minister Dorjee Khandu in a helicopter crash.[1] The ministry remained in office until chief minister Gamlin's resignation on 31 October 2011.
On 30 April 2011, a helicopter carrying the Chief Minister Dorjee Khandu and four others from Tawang to Itanagar went missing. The remains of the passengers and the wreckage of the helicopter were found on 4 May 2011 at the crash site.[2] Following the demise of the chief minister, then state Power Minister Jarbom Gamlin was chosen as his successor by the party leadership and the MLAs and was sworn in into office the following day by governor Joginder Jaswant Singh.
