Krishna Babu appointed as Kolkata Port Trust's interim chairman
The move was made after the arrest of KPT's former chairman Raj Pal Singh Kahlon in connection with an alleged corruption case.
After assuming the additional charge, Krishna Babu, who was the chairman-in-charge of Paradip Port Trust as well from Jan to Dec 2015, held a meeting with the senior officials of Kolkata Dock System and Haldia Dock Complex on Thursday.
Earlier on Mar 9, former KPT chairman R. P. S. Kahlon was arrested red-handed by Kolkata Police's Special Task Force (STF) from a hotel in central Kolkata, while he was allegedly taking 20 lakh rupees as bribe from a businessman.
Kahlon, however, is in judicial custody till Mar 31.
