KARACHI, Sept 13: Taking notice of violations in Cooperative Societies Act, Sindh Chief Minister Arbab Ghulam Rahim has directed the chief secretary to prepare a summary of amendments in the Act and submit the same to him within 15 days.

He said it had come to his knowledge that the Cooperative Societies Act was being violated and the Act was becoming a cause of corruption, as one person was acquiring membership of several societies, according to an official statement issued on Tuesday.

Arbab Rahim said that there should be a law which allowed membership of a person to a single society and bound him to submit an undertaking in this respect. Besides, he said, the violators should be awarded punishment.—APP
