Lucknow, Dec 22 : Uttar Pradesh Governor Anandiben Patel has terminated the services of Bhatkhande Music University vice-chancellor, Shruti Sadolikar Katkar, on charges of indiscipline and administrative and financial anomalies. The Governor has instructed principal secretary, department of culture, to initiate criminal and administrative action against her. Katkar was removed from her post in August and an inquiry was constituted against her. The three-member committee headed by Justice (retd) Virendra Kumar Dixit submitted its report on December 11. Katkar was given a week's time to submit her reply but she did not furnish any reply. The Governor's order, issued on Monday, said that since Katkar failed to submit reply, it is believed that she has accepted the charges. The committee had found Katkar guilty of administrative and financial irregularities. On the 15-point allegations, the committee found her guilty on six points. It was found that Katkar had given work to one firm repeatedly without tender. These works were done in the financial year 2017-18, for which Katkar made a payment (in parts) of Rs 2,17,085. Subsequently, payment of Rs 1,44,000 and 2,21,790 was made to the same firm by Katkar. The order also states that Katkar is accused of getting approved Rs 3.08 crore from various committees for construction of Kala Mandap without any tender in year 2018. Similarly, she is accused of making irregular payments of Rs 4 crore and above to several firms.
