Aziz Querishi takes oath of office as UP Governor

Uttarakhand Governor Aziz Qureshi has been administered oath of office and secrecy as the Uttar Pradesh Governor by Allahabad High Court Chief Justice D Y Chandrachood at Raj Bhawan here today.

Qureshi has been given the additional charge of UP Governor after B L Joshi resigned from the post on June 16 after a nudge from the Centre to some Governors appointed by the previous UPA government to quit.

The tenure of Joshi had expired a few months ago and he was sworn in again for another term. (ANI)
