There are many bank branches in every city,as there is ample power in the form of electricity,this is really a pity,however,let's now hope banks will move with alacrity,to open new branches wherever required with utmost rapidity,it's never too late to turn over a new leaf, this will undoubtedly provide to our folk in the rural areas much needed relief.
