NEW DELHI: Former chief minister of Andhra Pradesh K Rosaiah is likely to be appointed as the governor of Tamil Nadu in place of S S Barnala, whose term has run out.

According to home ministry sources, Uttarakhand govenor Margaret Alva is likely to shift to Rajasthan to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Prabha Rau.

Alva's replacement is likely to be from the northeast. The appointments are expected to be announced shortly.

Ministry sources said Delhi Lt Governor Tejinder Khanna, who has been indicted by the Shunglu Committee as well as the Comptroller and Auditor General for irregularities in preparations for theCommonwealth Games, will continue at his current station for the time being.
