"Good governance and administration can only be provided to people when it eliminates corruption in real terms. Initially we are trying to curb the corruption with appeal to all, in case we do not get fruitful results; action (against those found indulging in corruption) will be taken as per law. If there is no corruption at the top level, there should not be any corruption at the lower level," he said.
