He said bank managements had been given time till January 12 to deploy security personnel, install CCTV cameras and burglar alarms at ATM kiosks. And banks have expressed their inability to install automatic locking doors at ATMs on account of technical difficulties, he said.
Chief Secretary Kaushik Mukherjee directed the Commissioner to suggest to the bankers to install door codes to prevent crimes. The former Minister and MLA S. Suresh Kumar suggested that banks install only one ATM machine at a kiosk.
