Explanation:

Provisions for Governor and Lieutenant Governor are similar. The term of governor’s office is normally 5 years but it can be terminated earlier by: Dismissal by the president on the advice of the prime minister of the country, at whose pleasure the governor holds office or Resignation by the governor. There is no provision of impeachment, as it happens for the president. Same applies for the LG.
