Demonetisation to hit Maoist activities: Chhattisgarh police
Maoist activities will suffer a setback following the demonetisation of old notes, as they have hundreds of crores in cash concealed in Chhattisgarh's insurgency-hit regions, police claimed. Naxals reportedly have ₹7,000 crore stashed in the Bastar region. Following the announcement, the police have beefed up security at banks, ATMs and other economic establishments in insurgency-affected areas.
