Kolkata, Dec 14 (IBNS): When West Bengal's ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) was hosting sit-in-demonstration against demonetisation in front of Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in Kolkata on Wednesday afternoon, RBI's governor Urjit Patel reached the city to attend RBI's central board meeting, which is scheduled to be held here on Thursday.

After the Central government's move of scrapping old Rs 500 and 1000 notes, it is the first visit of the RBI governor to Kolkata.

Meanwhile, Urjit Patel reportedly refused the convoy, provided by Bengal police for him, and went to a five-star hotel from airport by a private car, hired by RBI Kolkata.

An official of state police's Special Branch (SB) said that they did not have a fair idea about the schedule and route map of country's apex bank chief.

However, according to credible sources, Urjit Patel would visit state administrative headquarter at Nabanna on Thursday to meet Chief Secretary Basudeb Banerjee and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who is opposing Centre's demonetisation move the most.
