Taking note of the rising incidents, the police convened a meeting of bank officials and instructed them to take steps to prevent ATM thefts. Even after that, many banks have ignored these instructions.A survey conducted by this reporter in the city revealed that the banks have turned a blind eye at implementing basic security measures at ATMs. The ATMs in some parts of the city including Samarthnagar, Cidco, Aurangpura, Pandariba, Avishkar Colony, Hudco were also seen collecting dust and lacked maintenance. Majority of ATM centres are protected only with the help of CCTV. There is no security guard at IDBI''s ATM at Cidco N-1 Chowk.

The doors of the ATMs are not closed. Hence stray dogs also take shelter in ATM centres. The centres are also littered with receipts that are not cleaned for several days. Similarly, the air conditioning of 80 per cent of the ATMs has gone defunct.

As there is no security guard, so there is no denying the occurrence of ATM theft. Security guards are found only at some ATMs located next to the branch. Elsewhere, however, the number is less.
