Recent Gubernatorial Appointments in India
On December 24, 2023, President Droupadi Murmu made significant gubernatorial appointments that are set to reshape the political landscape in several states. These strategic changes come in the wake of pressing challenges faced by some regions in India.
New Governors Appointed
Former Union Home Secretary Ajay Kumar Bhalla has been appointed as the new governor of strife-torn Manipur, while ex-Army chief Vijay Kumar Singh takes on the role of Mizoram governor. This move is expected to bring experienced leadership to these critical areas.
Additionally, Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan has been transferred to Bihar. In his place, Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar has been appointed to oversee Kerala. Furthermore, Mizoram Governor Hari Babu Kambhampati will now serve as the new Odisha Governor, succeeding Raghubar Das, whose resignation has been accepted by President Murmu.
National Human Rights Commission Leadership
In a related development, former Supreme Court judge V Ramasubramanian has been appointed as the new Chairperson of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC). This position had been vacant since the term of Justice (retd) Arun Kumar Mishra ended on June 1. The Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led committee convened on December 18 to finalize this crucial appointment.
The NHRC announced the appointment via social media, highlighting that V Ramasubramanian will lead the commission alongside members Priyank Kanoongo and Dr. Justice Bidyut Ranjan Sarangi (Retd.). Priyank Kanoongo previously served as the chairperson of the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR).
