The Assam cabinet is set for changes, with Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma indicating the potential inclusion of a minister representing the Barak Valley. 

Speaking to the media, the Chief Minister suggested that the reshuffle could see the appointment of two separate ministers, though the final decision is pending a meeting in Delhi.

"To take a minister from Barak Valley is on our agenda...but during the discussion, if we find out that two or three more ministers are required, we will take it into consideration," he added.

Further updates are expected following the Delhi meeting.
