Ten more officials in north China's Shanxi Province have been punished for visiting bathhouses, karaoke bars and other places of entertainment during work hours.

Seven were found singing karaoke or taking a bath in clubs during work hours while three others were caught gambling in a hotel on September 17. The three officials involved in gambling have been removed from their positions, Shanxi's provincial discipline inspection commission said on September 19.

The move came after the local authorities launched a crackdown campaign late in August, which punished 296 officials for visiting entertainment venues during work hours. Many of them had been fired or given administrative or disciplinary penalties.
