Parliament's Public Accounts Committee (PAC) will examine all aspects of the Centre's actions in tackling the COVID-19 crisis and may call the RBI governor to evaluate the economic cost and unemployment resulted due to the nationwide lockdown, panel chairman Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said on Tuesday.
The 22-member panel, headed by Congress leader of Lok Sabha Chowdhury, may also call other top government officials, including the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) director general, he said.
Underlining that the PAC should widely examine the Centre's actions and approach in handling the COVID-19 crisis, Chowdhury said, "The panel will study both health and economic aspects of this pandemic."
