Gov’t deregisters 2800 NGOs for flouting the rules

The Public Benefits Organizations Regulatory Authority (PBORA) has announced the de-registration of 2,802 NGOs for violating the terms of their certificates. The cancellations are set to take effect after 15 days. The authority says some of the organizations have been in default for up to 29 years.
