Demonetised notes converted into stationery by TN prisoners
Convicts serving life terms in Tamil Nadu's Puzhal Central Prison have been converting demonetised notes into customised stationery for use in government offices. The scrapped notes are first made into pulp, then solidified in a die-mould and eventually turned into hard file-pads. The convicts are paid between â¹160 and â¹200 for working eight hours a day.
