Endless Shifts. For Those Handling ATMs, The Work Must Go On

At a time when most people are desperate to get cash, Dilip Singh is surrounded by it. Heaps and heaps of it. Mr Singh works at a large cash management company in Okhla, which handles the stocking and maintenance of ATMs for private and state-run banks. When we meet Mr Singh at his office, a vault manager incharge of processing cash, he and his eight member team are busy segregating cash as per ATM distribution routes. "I have only been home for four hours in the last eight days," he said about his extended shifts after the government cancelled the 500 and 1,000 rupee notes last week. "I have to continue working, to be loyal to my company and country in these difficult times."
