Puducherry/UNI: Lt Governor Kiran Bedi, as part of her 256th morning round on Saturday visited Alankuppam village on the outskirts of the town and adjacent to Auroville.

They will begin with the first meeting on Sunday, Bedi said.

The Junior Engineer of the Municipality shall be a key coordinator to identify where the Municipality needs to be the main provider, while raising volunteers from within the community, she said.

A whatsapp network was established linking them with Special Commissioner Sunderesan and grievance officer, the Lt Governor added.
