NEW DELHI: The Delhi government has made arrangements of mobile ATMs in containment zones of the city.
Deputy CM Manish Sisodia on Wednesday tweeted that said the government is sending mobile ATM in sealed areas of the city.
Nearly 90 different areas of the city spread across all 11 districts have been converted into containment zones after Covid-19 positive cases were detected from the areas. The government is facilitating the arrangements of essential items like ration and vegetables to those living inside these zones.
Covid-19: Number of containment zones rises to 87 in DelhiLack of cash has turned out to be a major issue for the thousands of people confined within the containment zones. They are not allowed to go out and withdraw cash from the ATMs. The people are finding it difficult to trust anyone outside the zones with their ATM cards and pin.
Central District DM Nidhi Srivastava said that she has made arrangements of mobile ATM vans in the containment zones. Such efforts are also being undertaken by other DMs. Some of the containment zones were created towards the end of March and may be de-sealed after completion of 28 days without the detection of any new coronavirus cases
