Rs.7.92 lakh in new notes seized in Gurugram
IANS | Gurugram, December 13, 2016, in the Statesman Kolkatta
(Note: The complaint we have been hearing so far has been that new currency in high or low denominations were not available through proper channels like banks and ATMs. Then comes this report in the Statesman, Kolkatta, that over 7 lakhs and 10 lakhs of Rs.2000/- of new notes were recovered from unauthorized illegal persons.
Doesn’t raise a serious question, that these persons had easy access to government production centres. It raises a very serious question: How could unauthorized persons could get easy access to government sources of production. Is it not equivalent to saying: Fence is eating the crop? Is unpardonable malpractices are allowed to take place at the very top places in the Administrative level? If so with whose permission or connivance? james kottoor, editor)
