Uttarakhand CM urges Modi to ensure enough cash flow

Citing the problems being faced by the state due to demonetisation, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Harish Rawat today urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to pump in enough currency into the system to address the woes of the people, especially the old and physically challenged.
"Long queues are still seen outside banks and ATMs. The old and the physically challenged are the worst affected. People are worse off in the remote hill areas," he said in a memorandum handed over to the Prime Minister on the latter's arrival here at the GTC helipad to lay the foundation stone of an all-weather road project for Char Dham.

Rawat urged the Prime Minister to ensure enough cash flow in the system.
The Chief Minister also urged Modi to allow the cooperative banks to accept deposits of demonetised Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 currency notes saying it will help the farmers who were facing a severe cash crunch.
Describing Uttarakhand as a border state with limited resources, Rawat urged the Prime Minister to speed up the release of funds assured by the Cabinet Committee on Uttarakhand for reconstruction works in the wake of the 2013 floods, adding that over 300 villages in the disaster-prone areas needed to be relocated.
