According to informed sources, the Sindh government is making enquiry as to how many deserving people, who sought the assistance from Zakat and Ushr funds, have not utilised the amount for the stated purpose.
It is reported that millions of rupees have been misused. Sources said that legal action may be taken against delinquents.
