Week After Ban, High Currency Notes Make Way To Donation Boxes In Temples | Read

An unusual trend has started at temples across the country ever since Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the banning of Rs. 500 and 1000 notes a week ago. Donation boxes at temples are now filled with high value currency - a trend never seen before. While devotees would have most likely reached their pockets for 100 rupees in the past, the new trend now is to donate a 500 or 1000 rupee note. Just a week after the government's demonetisation move, online donations too, have seen a surge.
