Stating the vital roles to be played by Government employees towards development of the State,  CM maintained that every Government employee should perform their duties sincerely with dedication and honesty for service to the people. He added that Government employees should refrain from any activities which would create tensions among different communities.

Speaking on the honour and dignity of our National Flag, CM appealed to the public to take utmost care and hoist the flag properly.
