Panaji, July 14 Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant welcomed Governor-designate P.S. Sreedharan Pillai at the Dabolim international airport on Wednesday.
Pillai, a former BJP Kerala state chief and present Mizoram Governor, was transferred to Goa by President Ram Nath Kovind. He is scheduled to be sworn-in as the new Governor of Goa at a formal ceremony at Raj Bhavan on Thursday.
Goa has been without a full-fledged Governor for nearly a year now, with Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari holding charge of the state since August 2020.
