Currency Notes found floating - Assam

By -

Monsoon rain which usually brings only water-logging brought riches in the form of floating Indian Rupee Currency (₹) notes in Guwahati on Monday. When most people were busy making their way through waterlogged streets, some residents, particularly in Chachal area, saw the currency notes come floating.

The incident took place near Silsako Beel, a water body. In no time, people dumped their fishing equipment and jumped in the water body to net the Rs.500 and Rs.1,000 denomination notes.
As news of the floating currency spread like wildfire, hundreds turned up. They too jumped into the waist-deep water looking for more currency notes. ”It has never happened before! I have seen the currency notes and they seem genuine,” said an excited Dipankar Baruah, a resident. According to him, some people managed to collect several thousands of rupees. 

Police also arrived at the scene but could not offer any explanation on the source of the money.
Police said they were “trying best to take back the currency notes from the people. ”We have collected some and contacted the Reserve Bank of India in Guwahati to verify if they are genuine,” Senior Superintendent of Police Apurba Jiban Baruah said.

“We are trying to find out from where the currency notes came. It will take some time,” said the official. ”We have appealed to people to return the money to police for the sake of investigation,” said another official.

The money is believed to have been kept buried by some unknown person and incessant rain had softened the mud, cutting loose the currency bundles.

GPS powered multiplayer games have often failed due to one simple reason: there just isn’t enough interest in the game, and therefore there aren’t enough players in your area to make the game worthwhile. Project Niantic have been working on a project however, which is wholly backed by Google. Google’s huge power across the globe instantly gives them a step up from any other games with similar mechanics, and this along with the fact that Ingress plays on their own operating system, Android, gives them a huge advantage over anyone else who tries to develop a successful multiplayer GPS game. Start-up and Story The first thing to note is that Ingress is currently in closed Beta, meaning you will need to receive any invite via the Ingress website , or receive one from a player within the game already. So, although you may not be able to try your hands on it yet yourself, we have been lucky enough to get an invite, and hopefully this review will give you an insight into
