Complaint
The Achik Conscious Holistically Integrated Krima has complained to the State Bank of India (SBI) about the unavailability of different denomination notes in the ATMs in Tura. The group, in a petition, said that since denomination notes of Rs 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 are not available in the ATMs in Tura, people are forced to withdraw large amount of money from the ATMs.
