The Telangana state government has reappointed IAS officer Karnan as the in-charge CEO of Aarogyasri. Official orders regarding his appointment have been issued.
This decision was made following allegations of irregularities in the Aarogyasri department. Due to these accusations, the government removed CEO Shiva Shankar from his position and assigned him to the General Administration Department (GAD).
Aarogyasri is an important healthcare scheme in Telangana. It helps economically disadvantaged citizens by providing medical assistance. The reappointment of Karnan is seen as a step toward improving transparency and efficiency in the department’s operations.
