I AM a resident of Zorbazaar, Turbat. I have an ATM card of a local bank which has been given to me by one of my elder brothers.

I draw money from the ATM as my brother works in Dubai and sends money from there.

But the ATM of the bank is always out of order. Most of the times, I have to use other banks’ ATMs which charge a lot of money.

It is interesting to note that once in Japan a given ATM did not work. The owner of the ATM machine resigned his job, though it was not actually his fault.

I want to request the authorities concerned to rectify the faulty ATM in Turbat.
