Ranchi: Jharkhand Governor Ramesh Bais on Tuesday remained away from the main function being organized on the occasion of the 22nd state formation day at the Morhabadi Grounds of the capital.
The Governor was present at the Airport to welcome President Droupadi Murmu who arrived on her first visit to the state and thereafter also accompanied her to Ulihatu in Khunti district which is the birthplace of Bhagwan Birsa Munda.
