SC: Surgical Strike Or Carpet Bombing?

New Delhi:  As people desperate for cash spent hours at banks and ATMs even a week after a sudden ban on Rs. 500 and Rs. 1,000 notes, the Supreme Court told the centre today: "You call it surgical strike or carpet bombing, there is some collateral damage."

The court, acting on a batch of petitions challenging the decision announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi last Tuesday,  agreed with the government's argument that there will be "some collateral damage in a surgical strike against black money", but asserted  that the "common man should not suffer."

The government has been asked to submit a report on steps taken to ease the crunch for citizens.

The Chief Justice of India, TS Thakur, suggested that the government should raise the withdrawal limit. "The general feeling is it is causing inconvenience to common man," he said.
