Mysuru: The flagship ‘Shoe Bhagya’ scheme of the previous Congress Government that aimed at distributing a pair of shoes and two pairs of socks to school children in the State, has run into controversy in the district, with Congress ZP Member Sri Krishna on Tuesday alleging large scale irregularities in the purchase of shoes for students of Government Schools in parts of H.D. Kote taluk.
After a heated debate over the issue at the ZP meeting, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), K. Jyothi eventually ordered a probe by a three-member Committee which includes the DDPI, the complainant and the President of School Development Monitoring Committee (SDMC).
