Hit by Covid-19, Nashik currency press stops ops

The Currency Note Press (CNP) and India Security Press (ISP) in Nashik will suspend operations for four days from Monday as 40 workers from both facilities have tested positive for Covid-19 in the past two weeks. The CNP prints around 17 million currency notes of various denominations while the ISP prints revenue stamps, stamp papers, passports and visas. The CNP has 2,300 permanent employees and the ISP 1,700.
