Pachauri goes on indefinite leave

New Delhi: Beleaguered TERI executive vice-chairman RK Pachauri on Friday proceeded on leave from two other bodies — TERI and its governing council — for an indefinite period even as the green body appointed former Competition Commission chief Ashok Chawla as the new chairman in an apparent damage control measure. Facing heat due to multiple sexual harassment charges, Pachauri, Chancellor of the university, was elevated to the newly-created post, triggering severe criticism. Agencies
