AGARTALA, Nov 18 (TIWN): People hustled in long queues outside banks and ATMs on Friday, struggling to get cash for their daily expenses on the ninth consecutive day since the government announced the spiking of high value currency notes.

People were seen standing outside banks and teller machines since early morning to get cash or deposit or exchange the now spiked currency notes.

People expressed frustration and disappointment over the long waits. And many of them were angry because their previous attempts had failed because many teller machines were non-functional, including the ones inside metro stations, as they ran out of cash or developed technical glitches.
