The Uttarakhand Assembly today asked the Centre to allow exchange of demonetised high value currency notes at co-operative banks saying it would ameliorate the hardship of people, especially of farmers.
Moving a resolution to this effect in the House, state Revenue Minister Yashpal Arya said, "Farmers and people in general should be allowed to exchange demonetised high value currency notes also in cooperative banks and other cooperative institutions. This will minimise their difficulties."
State Road Transport Minister Nav Prabhat also seconded Arya's views and the resolution was passed by the House.
