What is the full form of LG

LG: Lieutenant Governor

LG stands for Lieutenant Governor. He is in-charge of a union territory in India. However, this rank is available only in the three union territories of India; Delhi, Puducherry and Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

LG has the same powers and functions in the union territory that a governor has in the state and a president has at the union level. Like the governors of the states, the Lieutenant Governors are also appointed by the president of India for a term of five years. He could be terminated by the president of India or can resign from the position.

Najeeb Jung is the current and 20th Lt. Governor of Delhi. His office is located at Raj Niwas in Delhi.
