Mangalore: The State Election Commission has temporarily stayed the transfer orders of DK Deputy Commissioner Dr NS Channappa Gowda.
It has been learnt that the Commission has directed that the DC who is also the district chief election officer cannot hand over charge without the prior permission of the Commission, that too when the voters’ list revision process is underway.
It may be recalled here that the Government had issued an order on November 17 transferring Channappa Gowda and appointing him as Director of KSRTC.
