Lieutenant-Governor for Puducherry C. P. Radhakrishnan participated in the temple car festival in Thirunallar on Sunday.
In the annual Dharbaranyeswaraswamy temple car festival, thousands of devotees participated from different parts of the country. Mr. Radhakrishnan, who reached Karaikal on Sunday evening, actively took part in the temple car festival.
The Lieutenant Governor told journalists that strict action would be taken to control ganja in the Union Territory of Puducherry. “I am working with the Puducherry Chief Minister on this issue. It is not about how many kg of ganja we seized but about what sort of actions we took against it. I have spoken with leaders in Andhra Pradesh to stop ganja flow from there.”

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
