The Karnataka Lokayukta has booked the Joint Director of Social Welfare Department and warden of Government Post Matric PUC Boys Hostel in Bogadi in Mysuru for alleged maladministration and poor maintenance of the hostel.
After noticing ‘poor maintenance and maladministration’ at the hostel during his surprise visit on June 18, Upalokayukta K.N. Phaneendra has ordered registration of suo motu complaint against Range Gowda, Joint Director of Social Welfare Department, and Chikkeeraiah, the warden of Government Post Matric PUC Boys Hostel in Bogadi.
The Upalokayukta, in his order, said he not only found “unwanted writing and ugly scribbling” on the walls, but also heard from the inmates of the hostel that they were not supplied with hot water and they were constrained to bathe in cold water.
