Artificial shortage of coins
Staff Correspondent
Dibrugarh, April 3: Dibrugarh has been hit by an artificial scarcity of coins and low denomination currency notes which is resulting in exchange of heated arguments among customers and vendors of all kinds alomost everyday. The people here alleged that the current situation is due to utter negligence on part of the Dibrugarh district administration.
The people further alleged that the district administration was well aware of the growing shortage of coins but did not undertake any effective steps to control the situation. The scarcity has resulted in a number of shop keepers and traders in issuing or giving coupons and chocolates as change.

Others who are benfitting from the shortage of coins are the Rickshaw pullers and Auto rickshaw drivers who do not return the exact change to the people. The local inhabitants have, therefore, demanded the Government Authority to take concrete and effective steps to solve the artificial coin crisis and shortage of currency notes be removed at the earliest.
