    Srinagar, Feb 28: People from many parts of South Kashmir are complaining that shopkeepers and traders aren’t accepting Rs 1, Rs 2 coins, a claim rightly rejected by the J&K Bank authorities.

    People from different parts of Kashmir told the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) that whenever they visit shops to buy matchboxes or other items, shopkeepers aren’t accepting the coins of Rs 1 and Rs 2. They even complained that cleaners of passenger vehicles aren’t also accepting the coins.

    They said for the last several months, many people including shopkeepers, traders and the general public are not accepting one rupee, two rupee coins citing the reason that others are not taking it too. It has become like an unauthorised ban on small coins by some locals which is continuing especially in Southern Kashmir’s Anantnag and Kulgam districts, they said.

    “I have hundreds of such coins, where should I spend them when no one is taking them from me. That is why I have stopped accepting them too,” Aqib Ahad, a local shopkeeper from Qazigund, said.

    People demanded that the government must issue directions in this regard and action must be taken against the people who aren’t accepting the coins. They demanded that the government must clear the confusion at an earliest.

    An official from administration told KNO that it is an offence to refuse the currencies issued by the government and action will be taken against those who are not accepting such coins.

    Taking to KNO, Managing Director and CEO J&K Bank, Baldev Prakash said all our Bank branches are accepting one and two rupee coins and people can deposit them in any bank branch. On being asked why some people are not accepting it, he said it is responsibility of administration to take call on this—(KNO)

    Hyderabad: ‘Kya toh bhi hai re bhai’, ‘Aiasaa’, ‘Nako’, ‘Kya hai ki kya nai ki’, ‘Hallu’, ‘Miya’, ‘Baigan ke baatan nako karo,’ etc., are some of the words almost every Hyderabadi chants whenever they talk. Influenced by Deccani Urdu, the Hyderabadi dialect is known for its unique vocabulary and sentence structure. Hyderabadi biryani, unique lingo and sense of humour and Charminar are what make everyone fall in love with the city.

    The Hyderabadi accent has a distinct flavour that has caught the attention of outsiders too who love to try to talk in the same manner. People here are also known for giving positive messages in a unique way and the best example of it is Shehbaaz Khan and Saleem Pheku.  Their style of speaking is amusing and has a way of making everyone laugh.

    And now, a quirky notice of a shopkeeper to customers has been grabbing eyeballs on social media. The ‘no credit only cash’ notice has been written in such a way that once you read it, you will guffaw at it.  The poster reads, “Aake Detu, Laake Detu, Shaam Me Detu, Kal Detu, Daily Atou Bhai, Nai Pehchante Kya, Server Slow Ara, Ye Sab bata Nakko…No Credit..Only Cash.” This unique style is for the customers who ask for goods without cash or want to pay later. The customers who procure credit facilities from shopkeepers too might be laughing after reading this message.

    The poster is doing rounds on social media now and netizens are reacting to it with many finidng it ‘relatable’. Whatever, but the shopkeeper’s quirkiness deserves appreciation as the poster made thousands of people laugh.

    One Twitter user commented, “Owner be like “baigan ke baata nakko karo, merko abhich paise hona”. “Made my day.”
