Major Reshuffle in Meghalaya Cabinet: New Faces, New Directions

In a substantial political development, eight ministers from the Meghalaya cabinet, including key figures AL Hek and Paul Lyngdoh, have tendered their resignations. This move precedes a reshuffle scheduled to take place later today, according to official sources.

The resignations come ahead of a cabinet shake-up orchestrated by Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma, who is at the helm of the NPP-led Meghalaya Democratic Alliance government. These changes were formalized following Sangma's meeting with Governor C H Vijayashankar at the Raj Bhavan.

The reshuffle will see new faces from the NPP, UDP, and BJP sworn in as ministers by 5 PM today. The adjustments are expected to usher in a new era for the state's administration, bringing strategic political shifts. Observers are keenly watching the induction of NPP's Wailadmiki Shylla, UDP's Metbah Lyngdoh, and BJP's Sanbor Shullai into the cabinet.
