The ATM booth installed at Hongkong Market/Hazi Park market in Dimapur has “not been functioning properly since its installation in 2018.”
Dimapur, December 12 (MExN): The ATM installed at Hongkong Market/Hazi Park market in Dimapur has “not been functioning properly since its installation in 2018.” It may be mentioned that there is only one ATM booth in Hongkong Market/Hazi Park.
Bringing this to the attention of the State Bank of India (SBI), Regional Office, Dimapur, the Hazi Park Business Welfare Committee (HPBWC) said that several complaints and reminders to replace the ATM machine with a newer one has gone in vain due to which people coming to Hongkong Market/Hazi Park are facing inconveniences while withdrawing money.
HPBWC through a press release issued by its president Hukato V Achumi observed that Hazi Park/Hongkong Market is one of the busiest markets in Dimapur as hundreds of people come to these markets for purchasing. Therefore, the Committee said, “the market needs a proper and functional ATM so that people can use it to withdraw money. During this festive season, the number of people coming to these markets has increased and many have already expressed resentment over non-functional ATM.”
It added, “It is ironic that the ATM installed by the SBI has been giving trouble since it was installed and several requests and reminders have been sent in written to replace the machine, but till today the machine has neither been repaired nor replaced with a new one.”
According to HPBWC a written request for replacement of the old ATM machine at Hazi Park/Hongkong Market was sent to the Assistant General Manager, SBI Regional Office, Dimapur in September and October 2020 “but nothing has been done till date.”
The HPBWC therefore, requests the SBI authorities to look into the matter with utmost urgency and replace the old ATM machine in the larger interest of the business community and the public.
