The board will meet for two days starting January 22 in Hyderabad and would discuss issues such as search CEO and CFO, legal matters and immediate cash requirements to run the company, he told reporters here.

The board would also discuss whether it needs to ask the government to stand as a guarantor for raising lons.

The six-member board, appointed by the government to run the firm after a shocking Rs 7,800 crore fraud disclosure by founder Ramalinga Raju on January 7, last met on January 17.
