Kulgam: Residents of Panzath area in Qazigund hamlet of south Kashmir’s Kulgam district have appealed the Jammu Kashmir Bank authorities to install an Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) in the area.
Locals said that they were facing lot of inconvenience in withdrawing cash from their accounts through ATM, as there is no automatic teller machine located in the area.
They added that Panzath is one of the most populous village of the area and has historical importance due to Panzath spring and most people in the area are associated with horticulture sector who are suffering for want of an ATM in the area.
“There is J&K Bank unit in the village which caters to Panzath, Wanpora, Drinan and Levdora villages but there are no ATM facilities in these villages and people have to travel several kilometers to reach the nearest ATM in the area,” Muntazir, a local said.
Most of the customers prefer to carry ATM and Credit cards for transactions. However, they face inconvenience due to lack of ATM facility in the area, he added.
Locals said that they had several times raised the issue with the bank officials but nothing has so far been done in this regard.
