August 02, 2014 12:54

NDTV reports: Haryana Governor Kaptan Singh Solanki has sought a reply from the Bhupinder Singh Hooda government over the controversial appointment of five senior officers which allegedly violated protocol.

The governor has given the government 15 days to reply.

Solanki had just taken charge on Sunday as the new governor of the state when Hooda swore in five important officers to serve on the Right to Information and Right to Service Commissions which are meant to empower citizens by helping them access information about government decisions.

But a senior bureaucrat Pradeep Kasni has red-flagged that as an unabashed violation of protocol.
