Ratan Tata, interim Chairman of Tata Sons on Thursday weighed in on the demonetisation issue calling the government to consider special relief measures for the poor similar to those employed at times of national calamities to help them. He said poorer segments of the population have been facing hardships due to medical emergencies.
“The present note ban implementation is said to be causing great hardships to the common man, particularly relating to medical emergencies, major surgical interventions and the procurement of medication at many hospitals in smaller towns across the country. Hardship is also being experienced by the poorer people due to the shortage of cash to meet the daily household needs for food,” said Tata.
