Governor appoints 4 members to KPSC

Governor Vajubhai Vala has appointed three officials, including Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's personal medical adviser Dr H Ravikumar, and an advocate for members of the Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC).

Ravikumar is currently serving as the superintendent of KC General Hospital in Bengaluru.

IAS officer Shadakshari Swamy, Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) environment officer R Lakshminarayana and advocate Srikanth Rao are the three others appointed to the Commission, an official notification said.

The government had recommended these names to the Governor in August. But the Governor had sent back the list, directing to get the Cabinet's approval for it. The Cabinet approved the list recently.
