K N Tripathi to be sworn-in as Mizoram Governor on April 4

West Bengal Governor K N Tripathi will be sworn-in and given additional charge of Mizoram on Saturday, the state government has announced.

Tripathi will take over from sacked Mizoram Governor Aziz Qureshi to become the seventh governor of the north-eastern state in nine months.

Mizoram’s largest students body, the Mizo Zirlai Pawl, has pledged to organise protests, including outside Raj Bhavan during the swearing-in ceremony, to agitate the “insulting” way in which Mizoram is used as a “dumping ground” of Governors the Centre wants to “expel or wishes they resign.”
