Chennai:
As Reserve Bank of India has imposed a limitation on withdrawal of cash, the state and central government employees are demanding their salaries to be paid in cash and not credited in banks.
General secretary of Confederation of Central Government Employees and Workers M Duraipandian said that his Union along with Tamil Nadu Government Employees Association will be raising their demands during the Lunch hour protest.
It is learnt that CPI (M) politburo member Brinda Karat will also be taking part in the protest.
Duraipandian justifying the stance of demanding salary by cash said that the withdrawal limit is not enough as the employee has to pay house rent, school fees and various other personal obligations as well as fulfilling their daily needs.
“The cash would prove beneficial or else the government employees will be forced to stand in queue during the office hours to withdraw their savings”, he said.
Duraipandian said that Central government employees have also written a letter to Economic Affairs Secretary Shaktikanta das while the Tamilselvi, the president of Tamil Nadu Government employees Association has written a letter to the state government putting forth their demand.
Meanwhile, Bank Employees Federation of India (BEFI) is also launching a protest on Friday evening to protest against demonetisation.
Highlighting the plight of overworked bank employees, joint secretary of BEFI M Shanmugham said that Rs 500 currencies could limit the currency crisis by about 86 per cent and stressed the need to print more Rs 500 currencies.
“The Rs 500 currencies to be circulated in the state is not enough. It would take about five to seven months to return to normalcy,” said Shanmugham,, who questioned the rolling out of Rs 2,000 currency while scrapping Rs 500 and rs 1,000 which has affected the common man badly.
