ATMs being installed in 1.25 lakh post-offices: Govt in Lok Sabha

Work is on to install ATMs and micro ATMs at over 1.25 lakh post-offices across the country to help people living in far-flung areas to withdraw money, government said in Lok Sabha today.

Responding to some members speaking about difficulties faced by people in distant places, Minister of State for Finance Jayant Sinha said that 'bank mitra', people hired temporarily at branches with inadequate staff, will also be of a big help in this regard.
