A day after a Minister was denied fuel on credit by a cooperative supermarket, Puducherry Lieutenant Governor Kiran Bedi on Saturday sought a report on all cooperative institutions in the union territory.
Bedi, currently on a visit to New Delhi, said in a whatsapp message to mediapersons that she had mentioned in her letter to the secretary to cooperatives Ashok Kumar that the "latest fiasco when diesel was not given or made available for the official car of a Minister by a cooperative society is a consequence of a long-lasting malady."
The former IPS officer directed the secretary to submit to her a report by January 20 on the details of financial, administrative and performance of each cooperative followed by societies to "stem the rot."
