The Resident Commissioner met the Governor at Raj Bhavan to handover the Warrant of Appointment, Secretary to Governor said in a press communique.
"Please to receive the Warrant of Appointment to discharge functions of Lieutenant Governor of Puducherry from the Hon'ble President of India," Tamilisai Soundararajan tweeted.
President Ram Nath Kovind on Tuesday night removed Kiran Bedi as the Lieutenant Governor of Puducherry. Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan has been given additional charge as the Lieutenant Governor till a permanent replacement is announced.
Bedi has been at loggerheads with Chief Minister V. Narayanasamy ever since her appointment as the Lieutenant Governor of Puducherry.
