Carrying forward her protest against demonetisation, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Saturday marched to the Reserve Bank of India office on Saturday and summoned the bank's officials on the street and sought answers to her volley of questions about the currency situation in the state.
“I have the right to seek information about my state. In fact I would have liked to get information about the entire country. But you people only look after this region”, Banerjee said.

How much money is there in the branches? How much is the demand? Is the available money adequate to meet the demand?”
