Tamilisai Soundararajan, Telangana Governor and Lt. Governor designate for Puducherry, arrived in the city on Wednesday, ahead of assuming office at the Raj Nivas on Thursday.

According to a press note from Raj Nivas, the new Lieutenant Governor will assume office at 9 a.m. as per the warrant of the President.

Ms. Soundararajan was given additional charge of Puducherry after the President removed Kiran Bedi from the post on Tuesday.
