The Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Thursday said that the facility of cashless transaction should be available at temples and other religious places.
After paying obeisance at Mata Mansa Devi Shrine complex at Panchkula, the third day of Chaitra Navratri, he advocated cashless transaction at religious places whether managed by the government or social organisations.
The system of cashless transactions is a new initiative in the country, which has been accepted by the people. It should also be at religious places too, he added.
