ATM, Noida, demonetization, high-value currency notes, November 8, IndusInd Bank, withdraw cash

ATM

Noida: ATMs in this industrial town adjacent to the national capital wore a desolate look on Sunday — the 26th day since the demonetisation of high-value currency notes — with no one standing in queue to withdraw money as each one of the outlets displayed a ‘no cash available’ sign outside.

This IANS correspondent visited five Automated Teller Machine (ATM) outlets around Sector 16 Metro Station at 11.30 a.m., and found each one unable to dispense any cash. “This machine does not have any cash… hasn’t had any since the (high-value) notes were banned,” a guard at the Punjab National Bank branch told IANS.

The situation was the same at the Kotak Bank branch ATM, which has apparently fallen out of the reckoning from among those which can be of use during the cash-crunch– since November 8, it has been devoid of any money. The ATMs of State Bank of India and IndusInd Bank also had their shutters down.

Since the demonetisation decision, announced on November 8, people have had to stand in line in front of branches of banks and post offices and at ATMs to withdraw cash — which has been in short supply since the past more than three weeks.

The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.

Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.

 

The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
