AB  - We present the identification of the co-spatial and co-temporal small scale jets -- sometimes also named as jetlets -- at the base of the coronal hole plume associated with chromospheric and transition region (TR) flows. We identified 19 jets with coordinated observations recorded on March 19, 2016 using the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS). Our analysis of \ion{Si}{4} 1393.7~Å line suggests blueshifts mostly in the range of 10 to 33~km~s^−1, but few less than -10~km~s^−1, while analysis of co-spatial \ion{Mg}{2}~h~\&~k lines show both blueshifts and redshifts in the range of {--}9 to 17~km~s^−1. We observed highly asymmetric, enhanced intensity in \ion{Si}{4} line during these events. The upflows observed in transition region through \ion{Si}{4} is strongly correlated with chromospheric downflows observed in \ion{Mg}{2}. We interpret these results as a signature of interchange reconnections creating bi-directional flows -- giving rise to upflows (downflows) in transition region (chromosphere).
