It was stated that social aid payments made to those in need in Kadirli district will now be made through Halkbank instead of PTT and Ziraat Bank, and the payments will start as of July 1. Following the announcement, many citizens flocked to the bank to make their card transactions, and long queues formed in front of the branch. Citizens who wanted to get a card from the bank where their social aid payments will be deposited reacted to the situation by stating that they had to wait for hours in the hot weather.
CITIZENS COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SITUATION Citizens said in their statements, “We are waiting to get a card in this heat. We have been miserable since yesterday. We want the payments to be made again through PTT and Ziraat Bank. The bank where the payment will be made is very far from my home. Therefore, I will have to pay travel expenses. A part of the social aid I will receive will also go to transportation expenses. I have a physical disability and blood pressure disorder.
It is very difficult for me to wait for hours in this heat.” On the other hand, citizens stated that they learned that the payments would be made through Halkbank and requested the authorities to reconsider the application. Citizens stated that the Halkbank branch was located in a location that was difficult for them to reach, and asked for the payments to be made again through PTT or Ziraat Bank. “WE WANT TO GET IT FROM PTT AND ZIRAAT BANK AGAIN” Citizens who have been waiting in front of the Halkbank branch since the early hours of the morning to get a card said, “We are calling out to the authorities.
Ensure that we receive our social assistance payments through PTT and Ziraat Bank again. We want our transactions to be completed as soon as possible.”
