GURUGRAM: Patience and hope is now giving way to anger and dissatisfa­ction for citizens of Gurugram who continue to face the challenges of shortage of cash even after 34 days of the announceme­nt of demonetisa­tion.

With banks being closed for 3 days, the citizens in Gurugram were dependent on ATM’S for dispersal of cash. However, they were left disappoint­ed as most of the ATM’S were out of cash or out of service. The one’s which were functional witnessed long queues and disgruntle­d citizens.

With incidents now coming from the city of bank profession­als being in cahoots with the corrupt in turning the black money into white, hope and patience of the citizens of Gurugram has given way to disappoint­ment and anger over lack of planning, poor services of banks and nepotism.

Recently in a case, two officials of HDFC bank were booked by the city Police after it was observed that were involved in converting the old black currency notes into new ones. A bank manager from a public sector bank has allegedly been suspended after there were reports of money laundering levelled against him.

“I was supportive of the demonetisa­tion move earlier however after 34 days, my patience and support is gradually waning. Here I am toiling to get my own money and there i see that lakhs of money is been recovered in new currency notes. Why should I not believe that this demonetisa­tion move is now turning out to be a big scam ?” said Vineet Nayar who had come on Monday to draw his money at an ATM in Sikanderpu­r area.
