Kerala Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan on Thursday handed over the appointment order for food safety officer to Niranjana N. Nair, daughter of late Kannur ADM K. Naveen Babu. In a post on X, Satheesan said the order was given under the Samaswastha Employment Grant Scheme. Naveen Babu was found dead at his official residence in October 2024.
