West Bengal Governor Keshari Nath Tripathi was on Friday sworn in as the Governor of Tripura as additional charge till incumbent Governor Tathagata Roy remains on leave.
A Raj Bhavan official said President Ram Nath Kovind on June 6 gave additional charge to Tripathi as Roy would go to the US for a month to meet his daughter and son-in-law there.
Tripura High Court Chief Justice Ajay Rastogi administered the oath of office to Tripathi at a simple ceremony in the newly built Raj Bhavan here.
Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb, his cabinet colleagues and senior civil and security officials were present at the function.
