New Delhi: Senior BJP leader La Ganesan was on Sunday appointed as the new Governor of Manipur. The development comes two days after Former Governor Najma Heptulla retired from the position on August 20.
A communique from the Rashtrapati Bhavan said Ganesan will be the new “Governor of Manipur with effect from the date he assumes charge of his office”.
Heptulla had demitted office on August 10 and on the same day the charge was given to Sikkim Governor Ganga Prasad.
