Traders are not lifting the fishing stock from them in view of declining demand from public For 60-year-old fisherman, N. Ramulu, from the coastal village of Gundayapalem, it was his sixth futile visit to a regional rural bank (RRB) in neighbouring Ulichi village for withdrawal of cash since demonetisation. Similar is the case with fellow fishermen from the coastal village with no scheduled commercial bank in their village. They are forced to keep away from sea and make repeated visits to the bank to withdraw cash to buy diesel for their motorised boats, and take care of their immediate domestic needs, a group of fisherman says.
