Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Friday said the governor should carry out the duties expected of him, hours after the Supreme Court pulled up the governor for not giving assent to bills passed by the state assembly.

The Supreme Court termed the deadlock between the Punjab government and the governor over assent to bills a matter of “serious concern” and said it was not happy with what was happening in the state.
