The ghost of Demonetization returns? Twitter reacts to Cash Crunch news

The ghost of demonetization has returned to haunt the country once again. Oh no, don’t panic. It’s just the cash crunch that so get used to trying your luck outside ATMs once again. These cash crunch tweets are must read

Twitter was definitely not amused by the prospect of ATM hunting as multiple reports of desolate ATMs across numerous states began to surface earlier this week. Then came Finance Minister Arun Jaitley’s confirmation of the cash crunch who asked the public not to panic, but hey, do those ever work?

Karnataka, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Telangana are just some of the few states that have already expressed concern over the situation and it looks like we could all be revisiting the horrors of November 2016.

From people beginning to hoard cash again, to the lax behaviour of the authorities, Twitter was unafraid and extremely miffed the cash crunch situation and these tweets reflect what all of us are thinking.

Govt says enough cash in circulation, just a temporary shortage in certain areas. But reports suggest otherwise. Have you been affected by this #cashcrunch ? Tell us your experience & areas where you have found ATMs running dry. @CNBCTV18Live @ShereenBhan

The 'sudden' #CashCrunch in many parts of India is just temporary. Is it likely that the central Govt is flooding Karnataka with cash to keep the BJP candidates loaded?

Just WHERE DID THE MONEY GO?

Is #CashCrunch for real? Last Sunday I faced it in #Jaipur when either ATM's were down or short of cash.Are 2000 denomination notes being hoarded? Seriously an issue.

We hope you understand. ?#CashCrunch #CashlessATMs
