Small and Medium enterprises, including the wholesale markets in Tamil Nadu have been hit due to the Government's decision to withdraw Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes from circulation. Meanwhile, ATMs in most part of Tamil Nadu dried out on Tuesdaye night and fights broke out at tollgates and petrol pumps.
Travellers suffered as their notes were turned down in railway counters and hotels. For example, people who are travelling from Coimbatore to Jollerpatai have to pay Rs 115 for their tickets but those who went to the counters with Rs 500 notes were turned down despite government's assurance that citizens can exchange Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes at train stations.
In tollgates located at the highways, people were seen getting into fights after they were refused change for Rs 500 and Rs 1000.
