In a statement, the Raj Bhavan said that the ceremony has been postponed due to the “unfortunate incident” in Chaibasa, where a woman was killed and her body was mutilated. The Chief Minister had requested the Governor to postpone the ceremony as a mark of respect for the victim and her family.
The new date for the oath-taking ceremony has been set for February 16, 2024, at 3:00 PM.
