Trader pays ode to demonetisation with Rs 2,000 note sari

Demonetisation has hit the common man quite badly and there is not much people can do however people are seeing the lighter side and doing something different. The Rs 2,000 notes that have become popular all over social media are now a rage only as sarees.

According to media reports, a Surat trader has cashed on the opportunity to make Rs 2,000 saris, literally. “Rs 2,000 note is new in India. Few days back saree with Modi ji’s face also came. So, we thought of coming up with this saree. The reason was to try something new,” trader Shiv Shaini told ANI. Every six-metre long sari has about 504 notes printed on them. The saris are priced at just Rs 160 and the demand for is supposedly a lot from states in which the elections are soon going to be held like Punjab, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Goa and Manipur.

This is not the first time that people have come up with creative ways to make the most of the monetisation phase. Earlier a demonetisation-themed cake was also on auction in Kolkata.
