Open more ATM Kiosks
Pr. Shyleyn Chothe *
It is regretfully unfortunate that Manipur can no more survive without controversies and the likes. And it wont come anymore as a surprise when the likes of me type about another problem looming over us.
And that 'pain-in-the-neck' problem is the 'queue-ing' up before the central banks' counters and ATM booths.
And I ain't got appropriate words to describe the harrowing experiences one encounters when it comes to standing through the sun and rain in front of these booths, not to forget the oversmart security personnels.
WE have to get up early and yet waste the whole day in front of these booths braving the sun, rain and humiliation.
And fist-fight due to allegations of breaking the queues. Even after this, we are occasionally angered by break-down of ATM computers and our rude and proud clerks of the bank. (P.S. Dont forget the oversmart security personnels) IN big cities of the country, ATM booths are operated almost in every yard.
And we are made to understand that the numbers of ATMs depend upon the numbers of the customers who visit the already existing ATM.
And, to be honest, the numbers of ATM card holders are swelling by the day in this GOD-cares-not state of Manipur.
And an idle glance towards ATM counters during office hours will prove that not less than 300 customers visit a single ATM booth in Imphal.
It is, in my humble opinion, high time to open more ATM booths in the town and relieve the poor customers from this daily harassment.
