Circulation of fake currency is on a rise in Rawalpindi and its rural areas.
The fake currency business is common in several markets of the city, including saddar, commercial market, raja bazaar, tench bhata , pir widhai, faizabad bus stand and particularly in rural area of the city.
Traders, citizens and social circles have expressed grave concern over circulation of fake currency in the markets, saying even the currency notes drawn from the banks are fake.
This menace is on rise particularly in rural areas where illiterate and semi-educated people could not make distinction between the fake and original note.
The citizens demanded of government and State Bank of Pakistan to take notice of this forgery and take appropriate measures to ensure implementation of relevant laws on this account.
