There are many complaints
of robbing inside the ATM as well as outside. Many ATMs in India are without
the security guards and the robbery incidents tend to increase day by day.
Gujarat state proposed the
solution of this. According to this proposal ATM should be inside the police
station with which there will close looks of policeman to the unwanted activity
and people will feel safe while dispensing money from the Automatic teller
machine.
Reserve bank of India also
gave clearance to this move. According to Gujarat state, there are 1200 police
station in which 300 in urban areas in which ATMs can easily loaded and there
will be safe and in public interest too.
But banks needs air cooled,
CCTV cameras, furniture and other facilities in ATM whereas these facilities are
hard to find in police stations. Banks are ready to pay for a security guard in
return.
Let’s see how much this
move will be successful.
