Meghalaya Deputy Chief Minister Rowell Lyngdoh and Health Minister AL Hek have resigned from the Council of Ministers.

After meeting Governor V Shanmuganathan, Chief Minister Mukul Sangma told reporters in Shillong on Thursday that he has submitted the names of former Assembly Speaker Martin Danggo and Government Chief Whip Ronnie V Lyngdoh for induction in the Cabinet.

Their swearing-in will be held at the Raj Bhavan today.

This is the first major reshuffle by Mr Sangma after the general elections two years ago.
