Daily wage earners find the going tough

Trinath Nayak, 48, a daily wage earner, has rescheduled his routine life in past one week - five days at construction site and a day at bank. Since the demonetisation, Trinath's life has turned upside down. "After five days of continuous work, I am handed over a banknote of Rs.2000. What should I do with it when the neighbourhood grocery shop owner and vegetable vendor are not ready to accept it? They have valid reason to say no. In a small transaction, they will have to return a good amount of smaller currency notes. Nobody wants to put themselves into inconvenience," said Trinath.
