As the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr approaches, the closure of bank ATMs and the unavailability of cash in Tehsil Ghazi have caused significant inconvenience to the local population. According to public complaints, several ATMs are either out of service or lack sufficient cash, leaving salaried individuals and other account holders unable to withdraw their own money. Residents have expressed deep concern, stating that financial needs increase during festive periods such as Eid, and the failure of banks to ensure the proper functioning of ATMs and timely cash replenishment is highly regrettable. In one instance, a local bank reportedly went as far as locking its ATM, further fueling public frustration. Citizens have urged bank authorities to take immediate notice of the issue and implement effective measures to facilitate the public during the Eid holidays. Public circles warn that if this situation is not addressed promptly, the joyous occasion of Eid may be overshadowed by widespread public resentment and curses directed at banking institutions.
