The Narendra Modi government on Tuesday made the old Rs 500, Rs 1000 notes redundant. Addressing the nation, he said the step was being taken to tackle the menace of black money in the country, which has sapped the economy.
While the government is assuring people not to panic, Twitter users are offering solutions about what to do with the old currency notes.
