Cooperative societies indulged in embezzlement, scams and corruption will be closed. Following complaints against them from CMO to PMO, the cooperative department has issued orders to close down 659co operative societies in Jaipur alone. Apart from complaints of irregularities, cooperative societies linked to housing, credit, ex-servicemen welfare, contract labour and housing industry have not conducted audit for years, raising suspicion of siphoning off people’s hard earned money. Following directions from the CMO, cooperative minister, Ajay Singh Kilak ordered officials to identify cooperative societies not adhering to rules and indulging in corrupt practice for further action. Now, within Jaipur, 13 housing cooperative societies, 38 credit cooperative societies, 23 milk producers’ cooperative societies, 57 ex-servicemen welfare societies and 348 other cooperative societies will be closed.
