Though the meeting was supposed to take place on Friday, it has been postponed as none of the senior minister was present for the meeting due to the ongoing Parliament session.
Meanwhile, Sonowal had a talk with the senior officials of the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways and discussed on certain issues related to the ongoing road projects in the state.
