Aizawl:  Sacked Mizoram Governor Dr Kamla Beniwal is likely to leave Mizoram for Jaipur tomorrow, Raj Bhavan sources today said here.

Beniwal, who was scheduled to visit Hmuifang Tourist Resort, about 50 km from here, cancelled her programme,sources said.

As she was leaving with a short notice, it would be impossible to organise the ceremonial farewell dinner for her, state Protocol department officials said.

“An official farewell function where she would be accorded a guard of honour would be organised at the Lengpui Airport the day she is leaving which would be attended by the acting Chief Minister R Lalzirliana (Home Minister) and senior officials,” the officials said.

Beniwal was transferred from Gujarat to Mizoram and sworn-in as the state Governor on July nine and she hadarrived here on the same day.

However, the Governor, who had a running battle with Narendra Modi when he was Gujarat Chief Minister, was sacked last night, just two months before her tenure comes to an end.
