Arif Mohammed Khan, the governor of Kerala, who has been reassigned to Bihar. Ajay Kumar Bhalla, a seasoned administrator, has been appointed as the new Governor of Manipur.

In a significant reshuffle, President Droupadi Murmu Tuesday appointed two new governors and reassigned three others, reorganising the leadership in five states.

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.

Another key appointment is Arif Mohammed Khan, the governor of Kerala, who has been reassigned to Bihar. Notably, Khan was involved in a protracted public tussle with the Pinarayi Vijayan-led government in the state.

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.
