In Jammu & Kashmir arrangements were made to help citizens communicate with their relatives during the Eid-al-Adha or Baqreid. Just ahead of the festival, internet services were restored partially in some regions. In such a case, carrying out cash-related transactions would be very difficult through internet or mobile banking. However, not to worry, as the largest lender State Bank of India (SBI) has released a list of ATMs and branches which are functioning in  J&K and Ladakh. 
SBI via its Twitter account said, “SBI serves the people of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh by operating 382 ATMs across 22 districts.”
