Moneycontrol BureauRetirement of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes is hitting the poor hard. The dream of making India a cashless society is giving nightmares to those who deal only in cash for their survival. People, especially those who don't have a bank account, are in a fix. Traders and street vendors are hit the most. Even as the government is acting overtime to ease the pain for everyone, it seems the poor are having to carry the cross as this cartoon illustrates.
