Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has advised the Puducherry government to prepare a sector-wise report for Centre’s consideration for any type of financial assistance. Ms. Sitharaman gave the advice when Chief Minister N. Rangasamy called on her at Raj Nivas when she made a short visit to Puducherry to attend Bharath Sakthi Pondy Lit Fest 2024 on Sunday. The Chief Minister met Ms Sitharaman in the presence of Lt. Governor K. Kailashnathan at Raj Nivas. According to a government source, the Finance Minister explained to the Chief Minister the difficulties that may arise if the Union government concedes to the territorial administration’s request for special financial assistance.
