KARACHI: The Sindh caretaker government has directed investigations against former chairman of Sindh Text Book Board Agha Sohail Pathan for involvement in alleged financial irregularities during his tenure.
According to a notification issued on Monday, the provincial government ordered to investigate corruption allegations against former chairman of Sindh Text Book Board.
