Deputy Commissioner Dimapur, Anoop Kinchi IAS today 4th May 2020 inspected the Nagaland State Cooperative Bank mobile ATM, which continued to facilitate customers in the rural and border areas,an initiative of NSCB in collaboration with District administration Dimapur.Kinchi said that during lockdown when people were unable to come out in the town, the mobile ATM went at the doorsteps to allow them to draw cash enabling them to buy essential commodities from their respective colony markets.    

Apart from that, specifically the villagers in the Assam boundary who were using services from Dimapur were unable to come towards Nagaland after the borders were sealed and therefore the mobile ATM were taken in the border areas to ease the burden of the people staying in the border areas Kinchi maintained.

General Manager NSCB Dimapur, Ningsangwaba who was also present at the site pointed that out although there are a number of ATM booths in the city, rural and border areas lack the presence of ATM booths and therefore to cover up the uncovered areas,the mobile ATM was introduced in 10th November 2017 during NSCB Golden Jubilee Celebration.
