Chennithala, in a letter to RBI Governor Dr Urjit Patel, said many government treasuries and ATMs in Kerala were facing a currency crunch even after RBI lifted the limit imposed on cash withdrawals.
"The situation is very serious, even worse than post demonetisation months', he said.
"Many treasuries have not been provided with adequate currencies, as required by them to disburse the salary as well as pension claims of the state Government employees and pensioners," he said, adding cash shortage has affected the disbursement of welfare pensions.
