Kanpur temple asks devotees not to donate old Rs 500/1000 notes


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.



The temple priest told news agency ANI that authorities were alerted to ensure no donations in the form of Rs 500/1000 notes were accepted. He also asserted that they support PM Narendra Modi’s initiative to curb hoarding of black money and counterfeit currency.
Meanwhile in some parts of the country – including New Delhi – rumors of a shortage of salt in the market caused panic among the people who then started buying it at inflated prices. The government, however, cleared that there was no such shortage.
