Their appointments take the total number of Executive Members to 17.
Arrangements have also been made for the oath of office and secrecy. The ceremony will be administered on March 6 or 7 at Kokrajhar in accordance with prescribed procedures. The ceremony will be conducted by Mukesh Ch. Sahu, IAS, Additional Chief Secretary to the Government of Assam, and currently serving as Principal Secretary to BTC.
