Groups seek ATM, Branch Manager at Gasuapara SBI

TURA: Several organisations from Gasuapara region in South Garo Hills have sought the installation of an ATM at the SBI Branch located in the area as well as the appointment of a full-time Branch Manager at the bank.
In a joint representation submitted to the Regional Chief Manager of SBI in Tura on Friday, the organisations — which include the Gasuapara Area Citizens’ Forum, ADE, GSU Ruga and Gasuapara, Mothers’ Union from Gasuapara and Dimapara, Gasuapara Development Committee (GDC), Local Coal Exporters’ Association and the Gasuapara Senior Citizens — informed that residents from the area were facing problems due to the above-mentioned issues.
“The absence of a Branch manager is creating a lot of problem to the customers at the bank. The problem is mostly being felt by the rural folk who want to open new accounts at the bank,” the organisations said.
Besides the above-mentioned issues, the organisations have also alleged that a particular employee of the bank remains absent from duty every week on Thursday, further urging the authorities to intervene.
