"The Accountant General had objected to lack of records on empty bags. As per the AG, the records are maintained for the empty bags and their sales at some places. We asked all postholders within the District Education departments to keep a record of these empty bags, " added the minister on record-keeping of bags.

On the government's image after this incident, he said: "I don't think such acts will ruin the image of our government. It is in the hands of public. Also, when one does something wrong, it's his image that gets affected, not that of others." (ANI)
