The outgoing Governor, Arif Mohammed Khan, who is set to replace Arlekar as the Governor of Bihar, is also expected to take charge on Thursday. Although Governor Arif Mohammed Khan was scheduled to be honoured at a farewell event at the Raj Bhavan on Saturday, the programme, organised by the Raj Bhavan staff, has been postponed due to the seven-day national mourning period following the death of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
