observed in letter and spirit. Elaborating further, he pointed out

members of State legislature and to the public issues raised by them
taking appropriate steps in respect thereof.
Harsh Dev Singh further said all communications and letters written by
legislators in discharge of their public functions must be
acknowledged, speedily responded and promptly replied.
He said that the seating arrangements at public functions should
receive very careful attention at all times and it should be ensured
that there is no room for mis-understanding.
Harsh Dev Singh directed the General Administration Deptt. to ensure
that all guidelines issued in this regard by Speaker and Assembly
Secretariat from time to time are strictly complied with.
