The Sikkim Bar Association has urged President Droupadi Murmu to postpone the oath‑taking ceremony of the state's new governor‑designate.
The Sikkim Bar Association (SBA) has formally requested President Murmu to defer the oath‑taking ceremony of the governor‑designate for Sikkim.
The association’s letter, addressed to the President, cites concerns about the timing of the ceremony and the need for a smooth transition.
The governor‑designate is set to assume office after the oath, but the SBA believes a postponement would allow for necessary preparations.
No official response from the President’s office has been released yet; the matter remains under consideration.
