Mani Viswanath has replaced N. Bhasurangan as the administrative committee convener of Milma’s Thiruvananthapuram Regional Cooperative Milk Producers Union (TRCMPU).
Ms. Viswanath took charge on Thursday.
Mr. Bhasurangan was forced to step down following Enforcement Directorate raids in connection with a deposit fraud at the Kandala Service Cooperative Bank, of which he is a former president.
