Arunachal Pradesh Governor Jyoti Prasad Rajkhowa was removed from the office by President Pranab Mukherjee.
President Pranab Mukherjee has asked Meghalaya governor V Shanmuganathan to discharge the functions in addition to his own duties, until regular arrangements are made.
Rajkhowa was appointed the governor of Arunachal Pradesh on May 12, 2015.
Union home minister Rajnath Singh had informed the President that Rajkhowa’s continuance in the post has become untenable after the Supreme Court’s observations against him over dismissal of the Congress government in the state.
