According to local reports, the notes could be part of unaccounted money that someone wanted to dispose off after the demonetisation of currency.

Another cache of notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1000, packed in a polyethylene bag, were found at Bahini river near Rukminigaon in the city on Monday.

Meanwhile, people across the state are standing in queues in front of ATMs to collect cash.
