The bypolls for the Jalandhar parliamentary constituency in Punjab and assembly constituencies of Jharsuguda in Odisha, Chhanbey and Suar in Uttar Pradesh and Sohiong in Meghalaya will be held on May 10 and the counting of votes will be conducted on May 13.
“The State of Meghalaya has recently undergone a Legislative Assembly Election the results of which have been declared last week. This has resulted in the delay of State Board examination and in this regard, students are facing unprecedented challenges to attempt the CUET for the State level undergraduates institutions,” Sangma said in a letter to Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
The release of portfolios comes three days after the oath ceremony in which ministers including Abu Taher Mondal, Kyrmen Shylla, Marcuise N Marak, Rakkam A Sangma were sworn in.
After taking oath as Meghalaya Chief Minister, National People's Party chief Conrad Sangma on Tuesday said that the portfolios will be distributed in the next 24-48 hours.
