Decision to allow `500 notes for mobile recharge hailed

Visakhapatnam: The Cellular Operators’ Association of India (COAI) thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for permitting the use of the demonetised notes of Rs 500 for prepaid mobile recharge as the decision would allow the customers to use the mobile services without disruption or anxiety.

Director General of COAI Rajan Mathews said though the demonetisation initiative leads to teething problems, it would immensely benefit the nation to flush out black money and help protect country’s economy.
