THRISSUR: The ongoing tug-of-war between the Kerala Kalamandalam authorities and the governor has taken a new turn with the Kalamandalam vice- chancellor failing to appear before the governor on Monday despite the latter summoning him.
According to reports, governor Arif Mohammed Khan had asked VC Prof T K Narayanan to come to the Raj Bhavan with all the files relating to the appointment and dismissal of the Kalamandalam PRO R Gopikrishnan, at 10.30am on Monday. While the governor had asked the Kalamandalam to re-appoint Gopikrishnan, it has not been done yet.
