CHANDIGARH: Amid the continuing hostility, Punjab governor Banwarilal Purohit on Friday again shot off a strongly-worded letter warning chief minister Bhagwant Mann to respond to his earlier letters besides sending him an action taken report about the rampant availability of drugs in the state before he writes to the President reporting constitutional machinery’s failure in the state.
"In the light of the Supreme Court's observations as to what would constitute the dereliction of constitutional duty in terms of Article 167 (b), I am pained to point out that there is reason to believe that there is failure of the constitutional machinery in the state," reads the 4-page letter.
