Term extended

After completion of the Assembly elections and formation of new government in the State, the cooperative department was entrusted the job of conduct of elections to all the PACS. The integrated Karimnagar district is having 127 PACS and the district cooperative central bank (DCCB) would act as its apex body. Now, after bifurcation of the district, the PACS would be distributed in various districts and they would elect the DCCB chairman in respective districts after elections to PACS.
