The AIADMK coordinator, O. Panneerselvam, on Friday took exception to the reported circular of the Registrar of Cooperative Societies, rendering the signature of chairpersons of the bodies unnecessary on cheques to be issued by the societies.
In a statement, he contended that the ruling party, which had been clamouring for more rights to States, should ponder over whether it was acceptable to curtail the period of tenure and powers of directors of the societies. He called upon the State government to reconsider its decisions in this regard.
In another statement, Mr. Panneerselvam and the party co-coordinator, Edappadi K. Palaniswami, urged their colleagues to set up booths across the State to distribute water and buttermilk during summer and ensure that the distribution was carried out hygienically.
