Kept out of iconic Marie building inauguration, miffed Puducherry LG Kiran Bedi postpones event

Express News Service
PUDUCHERRY: The inauguration of the iconic Marie building reconstructed with World Bank funding, which was scheduled for Friday, has been postponed on the directions of Lt Governor Kiran Bedi after she took offence at not having been invited for the event, which had Chief Minister V Narayanasamy as the chief guest.
Bedi said the Marie building is a landmark in the history of Puducherry and 100 percent funded by the central government. This is one of the important works sanctioned by the Centre under the "Coastal Disaster Risk Reduction Project" (CDRRP) at a cost of 14 crore. The central government has availed a loan of Rs 3,244 crore for the CDRRP from the World Bank and released it to the UT government as a 100% grant for various works.
