Bangalore, Jan 17: In a move that has all the makings of giving rise to a controversy, Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) chairman, G Somashekhara Reddy, has appointed M N Venkataram as the temporary managing director of the federation.
The move has come as a surprise, as the chairman had not obtained approval of the board of directors of KMF before taking this decision. The question whether this order passes the test of rules, procedures and laws, is debatable. It is not as yet known what prompted the chairman to make this unexpected move.
The present incumbent, A S Pramnath, who was in-charge of the post of the managing director and chief executive officer of KMF since some time, has not been shown any posting, although he has been relieved of the post of the managing director.
