The
Reserve Bank of India today appealed to members of public not to use banknotes
for making garlands, decorating pandals and places of worship or for showering
on personalities in social events, etc. Such actions deface the banknotes and
shorten their life, the Reserve Bank stated and added that banknotes should be
respected as they are a symbol of the Sovereign and public should not misuse them
so that the life of banknotes is enhanced. The Reserve Bank has stated that it
has been taking all measures to supply clean banknotes across the country and
has urged the members of public to contribute their mite to its efforts. Ajit
