President announces governors for 5 states

In News
  • In a significant reshuffle, President Droupadi Murmu appointed two new governors and reassigned three others, reorganising the leadership in five states.
Appointments
  • Ajay Kumar Bhalla, a seasoned administrator, has been appointed as the new Governor of Manipur, replacing Anusuiya Uikey.
  • Bhalla takes charge amid escalating violence and a deepening ethnic conflict in the state.
  • Over a year since the ethnic strife began in May 2023, the conflict remains unresolved, leaving governance in disarray.

  • Other key appointments include Hari Babu Kambhampati, the Governor of Mizoram, who has been transferred to Odisha, and  General (Dr.) Vijay Kumar Singh, a decorated retired officer, who will now serve as the Governor of Mizoram.
  • Meanwhile, Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar, the Governor of Bihar, has been reassigned to Kerala.
