K. Babu, Thripunithura MLA, has lodged a complaint with Governor Arif Mohammad Khan, alleging irregularities in the appointments made at the Kerala University of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences (KUFOS) here. Mr. Babu said that appointments were made by trying to dilute the powers of the Governor, who is also the Chancellor of the university. The wife of Registrar-in-charge B. Manoj Kumar was appointed as Director (Research). The MLA said in his complaint that the posts of Dean (Fisheries) and Director (Research) were created through an Ordinance promulgated before the election code of conduct came into force. Mr. Babu also alleged irregularities in the contract appointment of Director, Public Relations and Publications, for three years.
