Thiruvananthapuram – In a move that has drawn attention amid ongoing debates over the higher education sector in Kerala, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan paid a visit to Governor Rajendra Arlekar at Raj Bhavan on Sunday. According to reports, the meeting, which lasted from 3:30 pm to 4:35 pm, primarily focused on various issues related to state universities.
The meeting was described as friendly by sources within Raj Bhavan. In a gesture symbolizing amicability, Arlekar welcomed Vijayan by draping a shawl upon his arrival at the Raj Bhavan. The event was subsequently shared on their official social media platform ‘X’.
