Governors of six states shifted

NEW DELHI: Former judge and Jharkhand governor M Rama Jois is the new Bihar governor. The announcement was made on Tuesday evening.
Vinod Pande moves from Bihar to Arunachal Pradesh, while Arvind Dave, the present Arunachal Pradesh governor goes to Manipur. Dave will continue to hold additional charge of Assam, from where Lt Gen (retd) S K Sinha has moved to Jammu and Kashmir.
This means that at the end of the reshuffle, the Centre is still looking for a governor for Assam.
Dave succeeds former policeman Ved Marwah in Manipur. Marwah has been shifted to Jharkhand, which will go to the polls later this year.
Governors of Tripura and Chhattisgarh will be swapping places. Lt Gen (retd) K M Seth, who is in Agartala, moves to Raipur, while D N Sahay goes to Agartala.
