The residents of Madh Island have been facing a severe cash flow problem amid the national lockdown that is currently in place to contain the spread of the Coronavirus—primarily due to the non-functioning of ATMs in their neighbourhood.

According to residents, there are a total of three ATMs located on the island. However, only one out of the three is working at any given time. But given the large number of people who visit the ATM on a daily basis, this shortage of functioning ATMs has caused serpentine queues to form outside whichever ATM is working—with a minimum waiting time of 90 minutes.
