After frustrations after frustrations I got so fed up that I stopped writing letters to the Editor .
Now of course I am trying to make the letters short and short of acidic comments .
Hopefully this will find favour .

Sir ,
We the citizens with good conscience want PM Modi's every step , including demonetisation, and the dream to have a cashless economy to succeed.
Though presently even the move to demonetise is facing criticism.It is also a fact that poor are indeed facing problems.
However it seems the dream of cashless economy seem impossible with present penetration of internet/WiFi , nonavailability of credit/debit card swiping machines as majority of smaller establishments particularly vegitable venders and small traders do not have/use them.
For PM Modi's plans to succeed the government must treat penetration of internet/WiFi with as much importance as the infrastructural development.The Government must spend similar amounts of money on spread of internet and availability of free wifi to every nook and corner by spending few thousands of crores of rupees.
Vegetable vendors / small traders must be given debit/credit card swiping machines either free or at very highly subsided rates.They must also get free internet access .Fear that these people , due to lack of knowledge , will not be able to use them will be proved wrong .They will acquire necessary skills in next to no time .
Before you know dreams of cashless economy will become reality .
PM Velankar.
