The government today said work is on to install ATMs and micro ATMs at over 1.25 lakh post offices across the country to help people living in far-flung areas to withdraw money. Responding to questions about difficulties faced by people in distant places, Minister of State for Finance Jayant Sinha said that bank mitra, people hired temporarily at branches with inadequate staff, will also be of a big help in this regard. Replying to a question about vacancies in public sector banks, he said that all the backlog vacancies are being filled and added that over 60,000 people were recruited against the retirement of 38,000 people.
