Vijayawada: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy on Wednesday accorded a personal send-off to outgoing Governor Biswabhusan Harichandan at the Gannavaram airport.

Harichandan has been appointed as the governor of Chhattisgarh. Bidding adieu at an official farewell commemoration on Tuesday night, Reddy recalled that at a time when the relations between some state governments and Governors were marred by controversies, Harichandan brought more decorum and dignity to the gubernatorial post by facilitating utmost coordination between various constitutional bodies.
