R. Dhruvanayaran, former MP, has urged the State government to honour the report submitted by the High Court-appointed committee to enquire into the circumstances leading to the recent death of 24 COVID-19 patients in Chamarajanagar district hospital.
Mr. Dhruvanarayan’s appeal to the government came on the day the Karnataka State Legal Services Authority (KSLSA) committee’s chairperson A.N. Venugopala Gowda and member and K.N. Keshavanarayana, retired judges, submitted their report to the High Court on Tuesday.
