16,000 Maharashtra credit societies to hold strike on Dec 1
Around 16,000 cooperative credit societies in Maharashtra, which mainly serve the farming community, have decided to hold a strike on December 1 amid the cash-strapped scenario following demonetisation, reports said. "Credit societies are not getting new currency notes from....public sector banks. Hence, we cannot disburse cash to farmers in the form of their sanctioned loans," an official said.
