In a significant reshuffle, Gulab Chand Kataria has been appointed as the new Governor of Punjab, replacing Banwarilal Purohit. Kataria has also been named the Administrator of the Union Territory of Chandigarh. The appointments were announced on Saturday night, with President Droupadi Murmu accepting Purohit's resignation from both positions.
