The functioning of Harike Kalan Cooperative Society Limited in Muktsar district is under the scanner as its former secretary and president allegedly sanctioned loans to 19 women on fictitious names under the Mai Bhago Istri Shakti scheme in 2011 and 2012. The issue came to light when four members of the society lodged a complaint in this regard to the Chief Minister, SSP, Vigilance, and Deputy Commissioner alleging that the society had sanctioned a loan of Rs 25,000 to each woman to start her own venture.
