The traders of the area said that they are facing a lot of difficulties without having a bank and an ATM here. “Sometimes our business is affected when we have to go to the bank which is far from here,” Abdul Aziz, a local said.
He said that their demand for a new bank branch and ATM have been turned down by bank officials on several occasions.
Locals demanded that the authorities should establish a bank branch and an ATM in the area, so that they can avail the benefit of the facility.
