Senior leader and scholar Sudha Yadav becomes the state’s second woman governor, succeeding ThaawarChand Gehlot in a round of key gubernatorial appointments.
Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar takes regular charge of Tamil Nadu, Om Prakash Mathur moves to Keralam, and four other states receive fresh gubernatorial appointments.
The decision clears the way for the state government to frame rules and implement a common legal framework for marriage, divorce, and live-in relationships.
