In view of the recent mortal attack on a woman in an unmanned ATM counter in Bangalore, State Director General of Police (DGP) Prakash Mishra on Tuesday said the police administration is seriously contemplating to ask all banks functioning in the State to provide security guards at their ATM counters to avoid any eventuality.
“We will ask the banks to deploy security guards at the ATM counters in order to ensure safety and secure withdrawal of money,” the DGP told reporters here. As per reports, as many as 3,136 ATM counters of various banks are operating across the State while 70 per cent of counters do not have security guards.
