Kathmandu, June 2: Member of the House of Representatives (HoR), Gagan Kumar Thapa has said that the savings of cooperative victims should be returned. Taking part in the discussion on the annual estimate of revenue and expenditure for the fiscal year 2024-25, he mentioned that the savers of cooperatives should get their money back in time.

Also general secretary of Nepali Congress, Thapa suggested that the Parliamentary Investigation Committee on cooperatives formed on May 28 should study the issues seriously to reach the conclusion.
