Answer:
2 OH- on a single carbon are unstable and the molecule would lose 2H2O and form Ethan-1,2-dial. This compund further is unstable and undergoes further oxidation to form oxalic acid. Thanks to Wayne Yip for the suggestion. Indeed, due to presence of Alkaline medium, the final product would be oxalate ions.
