VIJAYAWADA: Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy felicitated Chief Secretary Nilam Sawhney during a Cabinet meeting on Friday. As Sawhney’s term is set to complete on December 31, the Chief Minister and his Cabinet colleagues felicitated her, as it was the last Cabinet meeting during her capacity as the Chief Secretary.
