The Karnataka Government, in an order dated May 17, has asked Jayaram, who is the Chairperson of Bengaluru Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB), to complete the probe into the charges levelled against former Mysuru DC Rohini Sindhuri and submit a report within 30 days.
The allegations were made by former Minister and JD(S) MLA S R Mahesh, who represents K R Nagar Assembly constituency in Mysuru.
Referring to Ms Sinduri’s approval of the purchase of 14.71 lakh environment-friendly cloth bags from Karnataka State Handloom Development Corporation (KHDC) for distribution among local bodies of Mysuru district as part of a plastic-free campaign, Mr Mahesh not only alleged that the bags were overpriced, but also claimed that no consent was taken from elected representatives of the local bodies before implementation of the scheme.
