Rajesh they havent suggested it I have. I need to crack this problem once and for all. I am not expecting the volunteer to come with a trusted person. I need the volunteer who can do it independently. I will ensure that the volunteer has tried the ATM before putting the volunteer in front of the RBI. I will also check that there is no touch screen and I will explain it to the RBI. Please no doubts at this stage. We are trying all options.
No volunteers as yet what happened to everybody on this list? Thanks Vetri we might have to use you if the Bombayites fail. Come on folks I need help and I think the cause needs help.
