Air Force has airlifted 160 tonnes of banknotes since Nov 19
The Indian Air Force (IAF) has airlifted over 160 tonnes of new banknotes from four printing presses to various parts of the country since November 19. The government has roped in IAF to cut the transportation time for delivery of banknotes amid current cash crunch following demonetisation. Notably, helicopters were already used for transporting cash to remote areas of Northeast.
