Now, the fake currency notes Rs 2,000 have surfaced in Bantwal taluk of Dakshina Kannada district triggering panic among the people in coastal Karnataka.

On Tuesday a resident of Punacha village near Vittla in Bantwal was taken aback after he was told that Rs 2,000 note he carried was just a colour photo copy of the original.

In a complaint to Vittla police, Krishnappa, said that he pledged his gold ring at a outlet of Muthoot Finance and got the Rs 2,000 note.

He used the note to purchase liquor at the outlet of MSIL. As he was going towards his house, two MSIL employees came in a vehicle and stopped Krishnappa. They told him that the note he had given was a colour photo copy of the original.

They took away the liquor and gave him back the note he had given them. Krishnappa went to Muthoot Finance who denied having given him the note.

He also went to the branch of Syndicate Bank from where the finance company had brought the money. The bank officials too denied that they dispensed with such a note. The police said that they are looking into the issue now.

Subbu, Mangalore,
That app is only for fun. Not for scanning the currency. It does work even on a xerox copy of new Rs.2000 note.

New Delhi, Apr 27: Indian prime minister Narendra Modi has said the monthlong ongoing lockdown has yielded positive results and that the country has managed to save “thousands of lives”.

Modi, who had a videoconference with various heads of the states on Monday, said the impact of the coronavirus, however, will remain visible in the coming months, according to a press statement released by his office. On the issue of getting back Indians who are overseas, the Prime Minister said that this has to be done keeping in mind the fact that they don’t get inconvenienced and their families are not under any risk.

During the meeting with state heads, Modi advocated for social distancing of at least 6 feet and the use of face masks as a rapid response to tackle COVID-19.

He said that states should put their efforts of converting hotspots, or red zones, into “orange and thereafter green zones”.

India last week eased the lockdown by allowing shops to reopen and manufacturing and farming activities to resume in rural areas to help millions of poor, daily-wage earners. But the economic costs of the nationwide lockdown continue to mount in a country of 1.3 billion people.

Modi, who put India under a strict lockdown on March 25, did not say if the lockdown restrictions will extend after May 3.

India has confirmed over 27,000 cases of the coronavirus, including 872 deaths.
