The State government on Wednesday set up a three-member committee headed by Arundathi Chandrashekar, Commissioner of Treasuries, to probe allegations of large-scale irregularities in the State-run Kidwai Memorial Institute of Oncology.
Apart from Dr. Chandrashekar, the committee includes Guruswamy, Managing Director of Karnataka State Textiles Cooperative Society and Mahadev, BBMP Additional Commissioner (Finance). The committee has been asked to submit its report within 15 days.
Last week, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had ordered that a comprehensive probe will be taken up by a team of senior officials, including IAS officers from the departments of Cooperation and Finance.
