The demonetization step by Modi govt. has been taken for a good purpose; however, it has created major problems for a number of people who have been struggling hard either to get cash from banks and ATMs. Several lives are lost after note ban too owing to work pressure, unavailability of cash in new currency notes etc. Nearly three dozen people have died in the aftermath of India’s bold, surprising demonetization move.

Some of these people have reportedly died standing in the long snaking queues, while many others died because hospitals, pharmacy shops, and ambulances refused to offer services in exchange of old notes. Even bank staff is left helpless in this situation but still, they are trying their best to meet the needs of customers. But, here is a kind gesture from a bank manager which will make you believe humanity still exists.

Going into details, the family of Munnelal Sharma, who died of cancer on Tuesday morning, had no money at home to pay for his cremation. When his granddaughter reached Bank of India’s Navyug Market branch in Ghaziabad, there was no money in the bank. But the bank manager AK Jain, went out of his way to lend the family money so that they could perform the last rites.

The 65-yrs Munnelal, on Monday morning, went to the bank with Neha his grand-daughter for withdrawing cash so that he could purchase medicines. They were unable to withdraw cash because of cash shortage. On the very next, Munnelal left the world and when his granddaughter again went to the same bank to get some money for his cremation, she was told there was still no money in the bank. That’s when the bank manager came to her rescue.

“My grandfather was suffering from cancer and in the last few days, he was not keeping well. On Monday he had asked me to escort him to the bank so that he could withdraw money he needed for his medicines,” said Munnelal’s 17-year-old granddaughter Neha.

“There was a long queue outside the bank but still I managed to enter the branch. However, I was told that there was no cash. My grandfather then requested the bank manager to do something, and the manager then asked us to come back on Tuesday,” she said.

“We had no cash at home and needed money to conduct his last rites. So I rushed to the bank. And again I was told there was no cash. I did not give up. I met the bank manager and explained to him the situation. There was no cash in the bank. But the bank manager spoke with one of his customers and asked him to lend Rs 10,000. And then he gave another Rs 7,000 from his own pocket for the cremation.”

The manager talked about the shortage of cash that the bank was facing.

“On Tuesday, Neha came to me and informed me of Munnelal’s demise and asked me to help her withdraw cash as his cremation was held up for want of money. But I was helpless because the bank still did not have cash. But given the situation, I requested one of my customers to lend me some money, which he did, and I also contributed Rs 7,000 from my own pocket and handed over Rs 17,000 to Munnelal’s granddaughter.”

“Last week we received cash for just two days and that was also so little that many of our customers had to return without money. This week, too, we have not received any cash till now,” he added.

The last rites of Munnelal Sharma were performed late in the afternoon with the help of bank manager. ATMs across the country are still mostly cashless with long queues of people waiting for cash refilling vans to replenish them.
