<span style="color: #222222;">Kerala Government will table a new bill in the Assembly today to curtail the powers of Governor Arif Mohammed Khan as Chancellor of State Universities.  <br />''<br />''The move comes in the wake of an ongoing row between the Governor and the  CPM-led Government over appointments in Universities in the State.  Talking to media, the Governor said, the Kannur University and the higher education sector in the State were in shambles.<br />''<br />''The Congress-led Opposition UDF has said they will oppose the bill.
