Demonetization effect: Real-time site helps you locate working ATMs easily

There have been long queues outside all ATMs across the country. This is because people want to withdraw currencies for emergency purposes since they cannot make use of the old 500 and 1000 rupee notes.

In this hour of need, a Twitter handle @WoCharLog has created a simple website – http://atmsearch.in/, which provides crowdsourced information about the ATMS which are working. Moreover, the site provides the approximate number of crowds at these ATMs.

How does the website?

You need to navigate to http://atmsearch.in/ and provide the location in the search box. You will view the bank name, landmark including the total number of crowd. Moreover, the site also informs you about when the ATM was finally updated.

It is also possible to update the status of ATMs by providing the landmark, bank name and the number of people waiting in the queue.

Even though the displayed information cannot be verified accurately, the netizens have lauded te efforts taken by the developer. Moreover, they also praised the amount of time @WoCharLog has dedicated to the development of the site.

If you remember the 2015 Chennai floods, several people provided vital information over Twitter and by creating new websites to the general public. This includes availability of essential materials that are used on a daily basis.

Recently, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the decision to scrap the old Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 currency notes. The RBI introduced new currencies with security features. However, existing ATMs need to be calibrated to enable proper dispensing of new currencies.
