Mysuru: With tech-savvy thieves finding new ways to bypass security measures, Mysuru City Police are working to prevent ATM break-ins and cash theft during replenishment. However, lack of adequate security at ATM kiosks — of nationalised banks, co-operative banks and agricultural banks — has become a growing concern for residents.
ATMs have become a vital part of daily life, making their security a top priority. Despite Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines mandating the deployment of security guards at all ATMs, 90 percent of the kiosks in Mysuru city — even in the business hubs of Central Business District — operate without guards and 60 percent of them close after 10 pm.
