Dimapur DC inspects mobile ATM

Dimapur, May 4 (EMN): Dimapur  Deputy Commissioner Anoop Khinchi  on Monday inspected the Nagaland State Cooperative Bank (NStCB) mobile ATM, which has been facilitating people in the rural and border areas.

The initiative was taken by the NStCB in collaboration with Dimapur district administration, the DIPR update stated.

The DC said that during the lockdown when people were unable to come out in the town, the mobile ATM  went at the doorsteps to allow them to draw cash enabling them to buy essential commodities from their respective colony markets.   

"Apart from that, specifically the villagers in the Assam boundary who were using services from Dimapur were unable to come towards Nagaland after the borders were sealed and therefore the mobile ATM were taken in the border areas to ease the burden of the people staying in the border areas, " said Khinchi.

NStCB General Manager Ningsangwaba, who was also present at the site, pointed that out although there are numbers of ATM booths in the city, rural and border areas do not have facility, therefore, to cover up the uncovered areas, the mobile ATM was introduced in November 10 2017 during the NStCB golden jubilee celebration.
