Mansukh Darji, the senior citizen, was standing in a queue outside a Bank of India branch in Limbdi when he suddenly collapsed due to a heart attack, they added.
"Though he was rushed to the civil hospital by others in the queue, he died shortly thereafter during treatment. We learnt that he suffered a heart attack. His family members informed the doctors that he was a heart patient," said the Police Station Officer (PSO) of Limbdi, Navghanbhai.
Meanwhile, a large number of distressed citizens today continued to throng the banks and ATMs across Gujarat to get the new currency notes since the wee hours.

"I have been standing in the queue for the last two days to exchange my old notes. Yesterday, I went back empty-handed as the ATM ran out of cash within a few hours. So, I stood in a queue outside a bank branch today. After waiting for three hours, I finally managed to exchange the notes," said Nilesh Koradiya, a resident of Naranpura.
"I have tried two separate ATMs in the last two days to get some cash to meet my daily expenses. However, I had to return empty-handed as both the ATMs ran out of cash within a few hours. Despite wasting two days, I am still without cash," said Yogesh Shah, a resident of Ghatlodia.
