Kohima, August 1, 2019:

RN Ravi, the former Intelligence Bureau officer who is Centre's interlocutor for Naga peace talks, was on Thursday sworn in as the 20th governor of Nagaland, replacing the 'people's governor' PB Acharya.

Ravi was administered the oath office at Raj Bhavan by the acting chief justice of Gauhati High Court, Arup Kumar Goswami, in presence of Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio, Assembly Speaker Vikho-o Yhoshu, Opposition Leader TR Zeliang, state ministers, legislators and other dignitaries.

Taking to Twitter, Zeliang wrote: "I congratulate Shri RN Ravi on being sworn in as the new Governor of Nagaland. A name which is now synonymous with the Naga peace process, his tenure as the new constitutional head of the State will surely usher in positive changes."

It is to be mentioned that Ravi was appointed as the Governor on the 20th of July by the President of India, Ramnath Kovind.
