The common people of the country although feel the pinch of the `500 and `1,000 notes’ demonetisation at the initial stage, but they appreciate the stand taken by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
At the same time, they are of the opinion that Modi should have done sufficient homework before demonetisation to avoid the situation that hit the people all over the country now.
Due to the laxity on the part of the officials in-charge of facilitating the new system, a chaotic situation prevails all over the country. “If people could get even the limited quantity of cash from ATMs, they would not be worried. But that is also not possible in most of the ATMS in the town adding to the problems of the people who need cash for their day-to-day expenditure,” said Durgaprasad Mohanty, a denizen of the town here.
“It is good step, no doubt. Those having black money are at a loss. But due to lack of preparation, a good number of people are suffering a lot,” said another resident of the town Azu Ajim.
There are also people who are expressing doubt over the integrity of some of the bankers in the city.
A senior official from the Vigilance department requesting anonymity said that no one will be spared for any irregularity and particularly in the banks.
