TURA: The failure of the SBI, Baghmara Branch, to clear the pending electricity bill of its one and only ATM in South Garo Hills District has forced the MeECL to shut down power supply to the facility causing grave inconveniences to the people who depend on it.
The default on the bill payment came to light when members of FKJGP Baghmara zone met DC in-charge of the district, T.G. Momin, to inquire as to why the ATM was not functioning. They were told that the payment of the power bill had been pending since 2011.
The FKJGP later met the manager of the Baghmara branch who assured that the bill would be cleared within a week. The MeECL SDO also assured resumption of power supply to the ATM at the earliest.
