A Congress-led coalition government was sworn in on Wednesday in Meghalaya after nearly two months of President's Rule, with new Chief Minister DD Lapang saying it would provide stability and good governance.

"We are committed to providing stability and working for the overall development of Meghalaya with utmost sincerity," Lapang told journalists soon after being sworn in as chief minister of the new Meghalaya United Alliance (MUA) coalition government in the northeastern state.
