Senior naval officer Lt Commander Joginder Sinha said there was no cash at ATMs at Nausenabaugh and Malkapuram areas. He was recently transferred from Mumbai, but the workers refused to pack his belongings as he could not draw cash from ATM. He borrowed money from his colleagues to pay them.

We have sent money to the various banks and ATMs and now the problem would be solved in another two days,’’ he said.
