Opposition leaders, MPs and MLAs continue being targeted.
CM briefing is constitutional mandate and urge her to perform her duty earliest.
On July 23 Mr Dhankhar had asked the chief minister to urgently brief him on the state's law and order situation.
In a strongly worded tweet he had stated, "Given the enormity of decline in law and order @MamataOfficial have urged CM to urgently brief me."
The governor also released a video where he spoke in the same vein.
"This as Political Leaders and opposition MPs and MLAs being virtually hunted out of public space by partisan police acting as political workers," he commented, taking umbrage at the action of the state machinery.
