At a private bank in Salempur, a small village in east Uttar Pradesh around 300 from Lucknow, tempers are in abundance but money is not. The bank has received cash just once in the last nine days and more than a month after the government announced it was recalling 86 per cent of the country's cash to combat corruption and tax evasion, the shortage has showed little signs of relent. The bank's ATM hasn't worked since the surprise announcement by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on November 8.
