  • 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.
