IHRD initiates action against VA Arun Kumar

Sunday, March 04, 2012: Institute of Human Resources Development (IHRD) has initiated action against VA Arun Kumar, son of Opposition leader VS Achuthanandan, by removing him from the charge of the IT department.
Arunkumar has been in the eye of a political storm over his alleged ‘illegal’ ascension to the top Additional-Director post of IHRD. The final inquiry report prepared by the Assembly committee would be submitted to the Speaker G Karthikeyan on March 8.
Though the CPM members in the committee sought more time to submit the final report, the committee chairman and the UDF members did not agree to this. It is learnt that the LDF wanted to delay the submission of the report as the Piravom by-poll is on March 17.
The committee is inquiring into the various charges against Arun Kumar like his appointment as the additional director of IHRD; his appointment to the Model Finishing School and the foreign trips made by him.
