100 percent cashless not possible: Harish Rao

Irrigation minister T. Harish Rao said that it would not be possible to implement 100 per cent cashless transactions. It could be implemented to a great extent by creating awareness among people.

He said formation of cashless society would take a lot of time. The minister claimed that nearly 70 per cent of transactions in Siddipet had gone digital. He said the



state government had resolved to make Siddipet a model constituency for cashless transactions.

Addressing an awareness campaign in Siddipet on Sunday, the minister said common people were disappointed with the speech of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on New Year’s eve.

Mr Rao distributed 50 mini-ATM machines among self help groups women.
