Charity commissioner's notice may stir trouble for VS administration

Times of India‎‎‎‎: Ahmedabad: Monday, May 30, 2016.
A recent notice from the charity commissioner to the VS Hospital administration can spell trouble, leading to several skeletons tumbling out.
The notice has been sent to the mayor, municipal commissioner and all the trustees of the hospital. The notice questions why regular audit reports were not submitted to the charity commissioner's office.
In a reply to an RTI query posed by a Kalupur resident, Pankaj Bhatt, it was revealed that for nearly three decades the VS hospital has not been submitting audit reports as mandated under the Gujarat Public Trust Act. The notice also seeks explanations as to why two different trusts -VS Hospital and Medical Education Trust - operate the hospital without any clarity. It has also sought explanations on appointments made by the two trusts and their jurisdictions.
