"I have been keeping a tab over the situation in the past 12 days and I can say that since the government decided to apply indelible ink, the queues before banks have substantially reduced. Similarly, the queues outside the ATMs have also shortened," said Jitendra Gupta, a city-based transport activist.
Gupta has also started a Whatsapp group to know the pulse of the Mumbaikars.
O P Sharma, a retired officer from Central Railway, claimed that the queues in the banks are getting shorter and situation is improving gradually.
"I am a senior citizen and after spending half an hour in the queue outside a state-run bank in Fort area here, I was told that bank is not exchanging money today. Why did they not put a board outside?" he said.
