Referring to the reform initiatives in the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies and Firms (RJSC), Salman said huge reforms have taken place in the sector to ensure quick formation of a company.

Responding to a question, Salman said the government is showing zero tolerance against corruption, so the level of corruption is coming down.
