State government orders probe into Mysuru DC constructing swimming pool in official residence


Mysuru, Jun 5 (IANS): The Karnataka government has ordered an inquiry into the construction of an indoor swimming pool and a gym inside the official residence of Rohini Sindhuri, the Deputy Commissioner of Mysuru.

One of Sindhuri's harshest critics in the district, former minister and JD(S) leader Sa. Ra. Mahesh, has been raising the issue for the last two months. He had even released documents in this connection.

However, the allegations were shot down by Sindhuri, who said that all the construction works at her premises were well within the frameworks of law.


Rohini Sindhuri

The order was issued by the principal secretary to the state government on May 31, but it came to light after Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) Commissioner Shilpa Nag's public outburst against Sindhuri on Thursday.

The order marked 'urgent' and addressed to the Regional Commissioner of Mysuru cites the complaints submitted by Mahesh and former MCC corporator K.V. Mallesh, among others, against the construction of an indoor swimming pool and gym at a cost of Rs 50 lakh in the official residence of Sindhuri, which happens to be a heritage building.

The order directed the Regional Commissioner of Mysuru, G.C. Prakash, to investigate the matter and submit a detailed report within seven days.

Meanwhile, the construction work also found mention in Nag's outburst on Thursday, when she said that as MCC Commissioner, she could have served a notice to Sindhuri over the issue, but she did not do so.

A war of words erupted on Thursday after Nag held a press conference to announce her decision to resign from her post, accusing Sindhuri of humiliating her at every step.

However, hours after Nag's announcement, Sindhuri flatly denied all the accusations and termed them as "contrary to real facts".

    None of the public servants are so stupid to put their own money to construct anything in their official residence. They even take money from the Government to even change the furniture every 3 years....!!!!!???? Whatever Sindhuri is constructing must be from the approval of the Government and also funding from the Government for sure.

    there are so many swimming pools in Mysuru both private and public, why she constructed swimming pool at official residence... funds were donated by others in exchange for official favours? or public funds were used? .. if she is so blatant in this matter, how much more corruption she must be doing secretly... in this tragic covid times, this lady busy in swimming pool construction exclusively for herself / family... shows the person's rotten mind... in addition to cost of construction of the pool, what will be the recurring cost of maintenance and maintenance staff...

    Any DC is not serve long period in any district and bunglow is government. The construction must have approvals from government and money also have been released. The work can't be stopped when it's sanctioned.then it's unnecessary publicity to create negative feelings to s person. One oxygen case truth come out and this may be similar because of desperate attitude on failure. Let the public wait for truth

    If she constructs anything for a government building, it is difficult to prove her wrong. Best thing is government must transfer her as soon as the swimming pool is ready.

    Probe will reveal who is right or has done wrong. Political witch hunts are not new as long as politicians get a cut or didn't is the prime reason. CSR funds are not accounted for by Naag, Most probably if probed by Rohini then many politicians too might get caught, for this reason all politicians from both parties have joined forces with resigned Naag. Many heads will roll if that scam gets exposed, for that reason they want to see the back of Rohini.

    That was exactly my comment yesterday, many clicked on disagree, but this pool was constructed in gross violation of rules out of taxpayers money according to newsreports.In the costal districts an unnecessary halo has been created for certain officials. Govt. servants cannot be politically aligned but we know about it when they join political parties soon after resignation.One such person had joined BJP and another Congress, purportedly to "serve " people.
