Put on hold orders given by Kumaraswamy : Karnataka Chief Secretary to Secretaries

Karnataka Chief Secretary T.M. Vijaybhaskar has ordered all departmental Secretaries to put on hold the orders given by caretaker Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy in July.

"B S Yeddyurappa has given directions suggesting all Dept Secretaries to put on hold the orders given by care-taker Chief Minister (HD Kumaraswamy) in July, till they are looked into by Chief Secretary or Dept. Secretaries," he said in a letter to the Secretaries.

Earlier in the day, Yeddyurappa met Governor Vajubahi Vala staking claim to form government in the state. This comes three days after the 14-month old Congress-JD (S) coalition government fell after losing the trust vote in the Assembly.
