The Cabinet will focus on the main issues including flagship programs, bills to be introduced and mainly on demonetization impact and people facing related problems at banks and ATMs. The government is pushing for steps being taken for cashless transactions using swiping machines through debit, Rupay and other cards. The Assembly session is to be held for about 7 days to 10 days and a decision in this regard is to be taken in the Cabinet. The Cabinet will also take a decision to distribute clothes to poor Christians on Dec 18 as Christmas festival is falling on Dec 25. (NSS)
