The cabinet sub-committee will be headed by Deputy CM.Govind Karjol, while Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister KS Eshwarappa, Revenue Minister R Ashoka, Primary and Secondary Education Minister S Suresh Kumar, Law and Parliamentary Minister JC Madhuswamy, and Women and Child Welfare Minister Shashikala Jollie are members of the committee.
The committee is empowered to accept or reject the Lok Ayukta’s recommendation for a departmental enquiry against Group A officers accused of graft.
