As expected, residents of Delhi thronged banks and ATMs from early morning on Thursday to deposit their money in denominations of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 or to get Rs 100 notes as the Government had banned these high value currencies (Rs 1000 and Rs 500) on Tuesday, in an attempt to clamp down on black money and counterfeit currency.
However, despite all the inconveniences caused by demonetisation, people of Delhi are taking it quite positively as they feel that the government's decision is a significant step towards curbing black money.
“It is definitely creating a lot of problems for people like us. But whatever the Prime Minister is doing, it is definitely worth it,” claimed 52-year-old Ambika, who has taken a half day leave from work to get her money exchanged.
