Ajay Kumar Bhalla Appointed Nagaland Governor with Additional Charge:
Ajay Kumar Bhalla, the current Governor of Manipur, has been appointed to take additional charge as the Governor of Nagaland. This move follows the demise of Nagaland Governor La Ganesan on August 15, 2025. The announcement was made through an official communiqué from the President of India on August 16, 2025. The appointment comes in the wake of the death of La Ganesan, who was serving as the Governor of Nagaland since February 2023. The 80-year-old leader passed away while undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Chennai. His demise created a constitutional vacancy, necessitating immediate action for continuity of governance. The Raj Bhavan in Kohima confirmed his death, which prompted the President’s Office to issue an urgent notification.
