The state of Punjab is set to welcome a new governor, Gulab Chand Kataria, who will officially take office on Wednesday after a swearing-in ceremony. Kataria's arrival in Chandigarh, the capital city, is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon, where he will be greeted with a guard of honor at the Punjab Raj Bhavan. This transition follows the departure of the outgoing governor, Banwarilal Purohit, who is set to leave the Punjab Raj Bhavan on Tuesday evening.
Kataria's appointment as the new governor of Punjab comes amidst recent political developments in the state. The previous governor, Purohit, had been embroiled in a series of public disputes with the Chief Minister, Bhagwant Mann, over various issues, including border visits and the return of a Punjab Universities Laws (Amendment) Bill. This tension had further escalated the political landscape in Punjab.
Kataria's background and previous roles are likely to be closely scrutinized as he assumes his new position. As the new governor, he will be tasked with overseeing the administrative affairs of the state, playing a significant role in ensuring smooth governance and maintaining political stability. His tenure will be closely observed, particularly in the context of the ongoing political dynamics between the state government and the central government.
