Haryana Governor Kaptan Singh Solanki on Tuesday was given the additional charge of Himachal Pradesh, as the incumbent Acharya Devvrat is visiting the US.
Solanki would discharge "the functions of the Governor of Himachal Pradesh, in addition to his own duties" during Devvrat's absence, an official communique said.
Solanki was administered the oath of office by the High Court's acting Chief Justice Sanjay Karol at a ceremony here.
Devvrat's visit will conclude on August 2.
