Car Nicobar, Oct 09: Car Nicobar Island, the headquarter of Nicobar District has three ATMs but out of which only one ATM of State Bank of India (SBI) was functional since nearly one month.
While out of two ATMs of SBI, one ATM was repaired recently after Andaman Sheekha report the ATM of Cooperative Bank is non-functional since last nearly one year.
Sadly nearly one week back the lone operational ATM of SBI has also become non-operational, leaving general public of the Islands, especially government servant in deep trouble.
Due to restriction in movement of ships, many people are stranded in Car Nicobar and shortage of cash is a serious problem for them.
In Car Nicobar at present one has to stand in long queue inside SBI bank with cheque to withdraw cash, which is a risky affair during the time of pendemic. People of the Island are now demanding immediate repair of both the ATMs of SBI and one ATM of Cooperative bank so that they can also reap the benefit of Prime Minister Digital Indian Mission.
