The Centres decision to demonetise currency notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 has affected businesses and other service facilities across the country. Long, winding queues are a regular feature outside banks and ATMs since Friday as the public struggled to exchange the old currency notes. Now, a temple in Kanpur has put out a notice asking devotees to not offer any donations with high-denomination notes.

PM Modi had announced on November 8 that high denomination notes will no longer be considered a legal tender. However, emergency service providers like hospitals, medical shops, petrol pumps, crematoriums among others were directed to accept any form of currency for 72 hours beginning from November 9.








On Friday, the ATMs became functional and people can now withdraw maximum Rs 2000 per day till November 19 after which the limit will be increased.
