K Harshavardhan, director, social welfare, has been given in full additional charge of the post of vice-chairman and managing director until further orders. Chief secretary K S Jawahar Reddy issued the orders in this regard.
The government has taken the decision against the backdrop of allegations of corruption and irregularities in the SAAP levelled by three governing body members of the SAAP, K Narasimhulu, Daniel Pradeep and K Varalakshmi.
