They should come up new ideas about how that can improve working in particular department or district. But they should not mis-utilise this freedom. “The bureaucrats should respect people’s representatives and take their help in solving people’s problems,” he said.

CM did not delve on this issue despite one of the DMs castigated by HC is now posted in Gorakhpur – the city to which Yogi belongs.
