While the expansion was described as a “work in progress,” Abdullah indicated that no changes would occur before August 15 to allow ministers to prepare for Independence Day. The expansion was expected to include new members from the Kashmir Valley and potential portfolio reassignments within the legal limit of nine ministers. Following a meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah in early September, the Council of Ministers scheduled a meeting in Srinagar for September 10. This session aims to finalize the legislative agenda for the autumn session of the Union Territory Legislative Assembly.
