Around 40, 000 bank employees across the state took part in the strike, called by all unions under the umbrella of United Forum of Bank Unions bringing banking services in public sector banks to a halt across the state.
The unions’ other demands include no write-off policy of NPAs of corporate loans, declaring wilful default of loans as criminal offence, implementation of the recommendations of Parliamentary Committee on recovery of NPAs, and reimbursement of expenses incurred during the demonetisation and Jan Dhan campaigns.
However, private sector banks like ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, Axis Bank and Kotak Mahindra Bank, remained open today.
