Common man has been facing a lot of difficulties ever since Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a sudden address to the nation announced the demonetisation of Rs.500 and Rs.1000 currency notes. After ten days of demonetisation, people  are still seen waiting in frustration outside banks and ATM centres to echange old currency and withdraw the new.

Though many people have shown their support for Prime Minister's war on black money, stories of distress have been making news all over the country post demonetisation.
