Kiran Bedi lauds police beat officer for living up to civic duty

Retired Indian Police Service officer and current Puducherry L-G Kiran Bedi took to Twitter on Monday to laud a police beat officer who reported a leaking pipe and immediately got it fixed. Bedi said that if one officer could do such a deed, then anyone, as a responsible citizen could do it.

In a similar vein, Bedi had warmly welcomed Sadhguru's 'Cauvery Calling' rally when it reached Puducherry on September 15, marking the thirteenth day of the initiative. It took the riders a fortnight-long journey to reach Puducherry. Sadhguru had thanked Dr. Bedi for giving a warm welcome to his entire entourage and for sharing their energy. Bedi and Sadhguru had also tweeted about the same. The initiative involves a humongous effort to plant trees on the Cauvery basin in an effort to replenish the river.
