Cash Ban Death

Opposition today accused the government of "shameless conduct" by refusing to mourn the death of over 100 persons due to hardships caused by demonetisation, as opposition and treasury benches clashed in Rajya Sabha forcing its adjournment minuters after it met for the day.

A 65-year-old man was trampled to death outside a bank while standing in a queue to withdraw cash, police said on Tuesday.

A cash-carrying van was today attacked in Assam killing the driver and three more deaths due to apparent stress were reported as people failed to get any respite from chaotic scenes outside ATMs and banks eight days after demonetisation and struggled to secure valid currency.

For Jagadish and Kiran Sharma, residents of Mumbai's Govandi area, the effect of the government's radical move to withdraw 500 and 1,000 rupee notes from circulation, has not just been bothersome but utterly devastating.
