The demonetisation vows refuse to end for common man. Long queues were seen outside banks since 2am on Sunday in order exchange defunct old notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 denominations for valid notes. Adding to troubles, banks in most parts of India opened at 10 instead of 8 am as directed by Govt of India.

People even gathered outside dry ATMs in hope that they will refurbished once banks reopen. 

Security personnel are also deployed at many places to keep the situation under control.

Here is the situation in different parts of India:

Delhi:

People waiting outside banks since wee hours on Sunday complained that banks open only for limited hours and do not carry enough cash for exchange. 

“I came here on Saturday and had to return empty handed after six hours of wait because the bank said they are out of cash. Now I am in line since 2am,” said Ramesh Sharma, one of the customers waiting outside a bank in Dwarka New Delhi. 

Sharma, like many others waiting alongside him, said that they have no money for buying basic necessities like fruits and vegetables for home. Even schools are not accepting old notes for fees, he said. 

Meanwhile Delhi Police clarified that on Saturday they received at least 4,500 calls related to ATM/Bank queue incident but only few were related to minor violence.
