Last night, a press release issued by Bedi’s Secretary Theva Needhi Das said the ban will also be applicable to escort and pilot vehicles of the Lt Governor. However, emergency services like ambulances and fire service vehicles would be exempted from the restriction on the use of sirens.
Narayanasamy, who took oath as chief minister on Monday, said the goal of the Lt Governor as well as his is a prosperous Puducherry.
Asked whether Bedi was projecting herself as a ‘super CM’, he said, “The goal of the LG is a prosperous Puducherry, our aim is also the same. There is no clash of status, we don’t have any vested interest. We want public service to be done. I have told the media that I will not use government vehicle. It is my personal wish and it is for my cabinet colleagues to decide on that basis.”
