The
Non-Gazetted Govt. Officers’ Association, Andaman and Nicobar Islands has
expressed concern over the non-functioning of ATMs installed at various places
in the Port Blair town. In a letter sent
to the Regional Manager of the State Bank of India at Port Blair, Shri TS
Sreekumar, General Secretary of the Association while drawing the attention of the Regional Manager on the hardship being faced by the general
public and govt. employees due to the non-functioning of the ATMs of State Bank
of India at Port Blair and surrounding areas said that most of the ATMs in the
Port Blair city are in ‘Out of Order’ state and customers who are at receiving
end, are facing difficulty in getting money on time due to the lethargy shown
by the State Bank of India to repair their ATMs timely. Shri Sreekumar pointed out that the ATMs at
Raksha Vihar, Airport, Dairy Farm, Aberdeen (CCS), Delanipur, etc., are not
functional and some of them are in unserviceable condition for the last few
months. Long queue of customers are a common site in front of ATMs at
Junglighat and e-corner, Port Blair.
People in need of urgent cash are the worst sufferers who are forced to
use the ATMs of other banks for getting money, the Association pointed
out. He further said that it is a matter
of serious concern that State Bank of India which is always claiming ‘better
service’ is not taking the required initiatives for the upkeep of these ATMs. The Association asked the Regional Manager to
take immediate measures for the urgent repairing of all the unserviceable ATMs
to ensure better service to the customers of the largest nationalized bank.
