Pampore, Aug 8 (TIWN/ 101Reporters) While Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) is in news usually for geopolitical tension, violence within the four walls of homes too is a serious issue facing it. In the state, everything becomes subdued owing to the larger political conflict and whatever does not suit the political agenda-statist or separatist-is given no importance. Violence against women not only goes unnoticed but also is given no importance by the society or media. Very often, it is denied.

The move is expected to benefit the small kirana stores which have become well-versed with the digital payment system and have been receiving money directly into their bank accounts.  "At Paytm, we always believe in providing flexibility to our users to choose their preferred mode of payment. Now with interoperable UPI, they also get the flexibility to scan any QR code through their Paytm app for instant payments," Deepak Abbot, Sr. Vice President at Paytm said. 

"More and more users are linking their bank accounts with Paytm UPI and are conveniently paying at their neighbourhood stores, restaurants, fuel stations, pharmacies, hospitals, etc. We will continue to innovate, add new features and enhance our users' experience."
