According to a report by Sandesh, there was a severe shortage of loose change in the markets of Surendranagar during the Diwali festivals. Traders were refusing to provide change against large notes for purchases of ₹10 or ₹20, causing distress to both customers and traders.
To resolve this issue, a representation was made to SBI AGM Shailesh Gohil by the Zalawad Chamber of Commerce. Consequently, on Tuesday, the 3rd, a joint distribution of currency coins and notes was organised by the bank and the Chamber.
From Ajramar Tower to Mehta Market in the city, bank Chief Manager Imranbhai Jindani, Ketankumar Kachadiya, and Chamber President Dineshbhai Turkhiya, among others, distributed coins and notes worth ₹6 lakh. This initiative by the bank and the Chamber was welcomed with joy by the traders.
