Barnala reappointed Governor
Special Correspondent
Surjit Singh Barnala.
NEW DELHI:
Surjit Singh Barnala has been appointed Governor of Tamil Nadu for a fresh five-year term according to a Rashtrapati Bhavan communique on Monday.
In his earlier term, which expired in November last year, he was appointed the first Governor of Uttaranchal, when it was carved out of Uttar Pradesh in November 2000.
On January 3, 2003, he assumed office as Governor of Andhra Pradesh and was shifted to Tamil Nadu Raj Bhavan on November 3, 2004.
Though his tenure expired last year, he was asked to continue because of the Assembly elections in Tamil Nadu.
After consulting with Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi, the Government recommended a second term for him.
In his first innings as Tamil Nadu Governor in 1990, Mr. Barnala had refused to give a report recommending the dismissal of the State government. Following this, he submitted his resignation.
