Kerala Housing Board Commissioner and Secretary P. M. John was suspended on Monday from service following allegation of irregularities against him, warranting a probe by the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau.
The Legislature Committee, announced by Chief Minister V. S. Achuthanandan, to inquire into the allegations against the Public Works Minister P.J. Joseph may be a non-starter.
The Kerala government Monday ordered a probe into alleged housing scams that have occurred in the past 15 years, including one involving Rs.4.3 billion.
