Your (officials') note must refer to relevant rules and state your propositions for the Chief Secretary to take a call, she added.
Puducherry: Puducherry Lt Governor Kiran Bedi urged all the officials to cooperate with the new Chief Secretary Ashwani Kumar who assumed charges on Wednesday.
Showering praise on the new Chief Secretary, in a "mentoring note” addressed to the officers, the former IPS officer said that Kumar, a 1992 batch IAS officer, “is known for his courageous integrity and for his forthright observance of rules.” He has been in vigilance and also worked as Secretary to PWD (in the Delhi Government).
"I urge you all now to value this opportunity of considering this change as a blessing for you, your work and Puducherry, said Ms Bedi in her Whatsapp message. She asked the officers to record their views forthrightly on the files linking with the past. They should “flag the files properly so that the new incumbent would get to know the brief history of the issues.”
Your (officials’) note must refer to relevant rules and state your propositions for the Chief Secretary to take a call,” she added in the note addressed to the officials.
“Please appreciate the change and give it your maximum cooperation. There is a lot waiting to be done and done properly. We have to take Puducherry towards all round development and prosperity,” Ms Bedi added.
