Decorative garlands at marriages and political rallies are widespread in India. Rupee notes are often used, damaging the currency.
"Bank notes should be respected as they are a symbol of the Sovereign and public should not misuse them and help in increasing the life of bank notes," the RBI said in a statement.
The bank also said it will attempt to supply clean banknotes throughout the country and urged its citizenry to comply with a "clean note policy."
India has been plagued with runaway inflation lately. Should somebody tell the RBI that garland making, which destroys many rupees at one time, is inherently deflationary?
