The Centre has asked all States to ensure proper security to all banks, ATMs and vehicles transporting cash in the wake of demonetisation of `500 and `1,000 currency notes. The Home Ministry has deputed three officials to be in touch with State Governments to ensure security of banks, ATMs and cash transporting vehicles.
The three officials are taking regular feedbacks from the Directors General of Police and the situation in respective States, a Home Ministry official said. So far no report of any violence or untoward incident has come from anywhere in the country.
“We have conveyed to the States that if they require any assistance, we will provide immediately,” the official said, adding that two separate advisories were sent to all States in this regard.
The Central Government is expecting the financial situation to be normal in the next four-five days.
