"Are you accepting 500 or 1000 rupees?" was a question that echoed across the chaotic and noisy streets of Chandni Chowk, one of Delhi's oldest markets and perhaps markets across India on Wednesday.Row upon row of shops wore a deserted look as most customers stayed away. The scene was almost identical in adjoining Bhagirath Place market and the old Lajpat Rai market, south Asia's largest wholesale electronic market. The customers who came were turned away as most had 500 or 1000 rupee notes.
