Banwarilal Purohit resigns from his position citing personal reasons and amid allegations of tampering in mayoral elections.
Banwarilal Purohit, the Punjab Governor and UT administrator, has tendered his resignation, citing personal reasons in a letter to President Droupadi Murmu.

Purohit stepped down just a day after meeting Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi, coinciding with the BJP's comprehensive victory in the Chandigarh mayoral polls.
