Quick verification ordered into graft charges in cashew corporation

Kollam: The Vigilance court has ordered a quick verification into the alleged irregularity worth of Rs.14.5 crore in the Kerala State Cashew Development Corporation.

The court ordered the quick verification on a complaint filed by Kadakampally Manoj.

The complainant alleged that raw cashews post-expiration dates were imported paying high amounts. Not only that, cashews were brought under a tender which was cancelled by the Director Board in November.

The quick verification would look into the two business deals that were executed in December.
