GORKHA, Sept 14: The finding about the circulation of counterfeit currency notes in Gorkha has prompted the District Administration Office here to issue directives to district-based banks and financial institutions for preventive measures.
CDO Narayan Prasad Bhattarai today summoned chief and representatives from such organisations to his office and instructed them to compulsorily use a counterfeit note detector machine while making cash transactions.
