The Karnataka government extended the term of the one-man commission led by retired Justice John Michael D’Cunha on Saturday to probe into the Chinnaswamy stampede tragedy, which took 11 lives on June 4.
The commission has been investigating the deaths of patients due to lack of oxygen at the Chamarajanagar district hospital. However, considering the urgency of the situation, the commission has been redirected to work on the Chinnaswamy stampede incident and submit a report within a month.
