[{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1481525919425","data":"As if the demonetization wasn't causing enough trouble, students of DU have the added stress of running around ATMs to withdraw money, because their landlords refuse to accept money via online transfer and demand only cash, according to a report on Times of India.<\/p>Delhi, where areas around colleges usually have rents ranging from Rs. 10000 to Rs. 20000, students are being forced to stand for hours on multiple days by landlords who refuse electronic transfer and still expect rent on time. As quoted by TOI, Gayatri Mishra, a student of Miranda House, said, \"I have to pay my rent by the first week of the month, but I only had Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes. So I asked my landlord if he would accept them, but he refused and instead told me to pay the rent on time. Since all ATMs in the campus run out of cash very quickly, I travelled to Vidhan Sabha for several days to get the cash. My rent is Rs 11,000, so I stood in queues for five hours every day to withdraw Rs 2,000 at a time. I also had to borrow Rs 1,000 from my friend who lives with her family. Instead of studying, we are standing in queues and the PG owners are getting cash without any difficulty.\"<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1481526623365","data":"584e4ed59c2b8"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1481526625269","data":" Other students are trying to study in lines, with Ashwini Joshi, a student of Kiori Mal College saying, \"My rent is Rs 6,000 and my landlord is not accepting any online transaction. I stood in line for more than three hours but still had no money as the ATM ran out of cash by the time my turn came. I also tried studying in the queue, but it was impossible as people keep talking and you cannot concentrate. So I went to the ATM at midnight and got Rs 2,000. My friend stood in the line for me the next day and I am borrowing another Rs 2,000 from a friend.\"<\/p>From trying to find ATMs at midnight, to making multiple trips to the ATM to make withdrawals, these students are facing a lot of hardships at a time when they should be studying hard. Here is hoping they all pass with flying colors. <\/p>Picture Courtesy: Times of India <\/p>"}]
