Nine bank unions on Monday started a nationwide two-day strike against the move to privatise public sector banks and “retrograde” reforms, PTI reported. As many as 10 lakh bank employees and officers were expected to take part in the protest.
The United Forum of Bank Union, an umbrella body of nine bank unions, had called for the strike. This will lead to a four-day break in regular operations as banks were already closed on Saturday and Sunday. Services such as deposits and withdrawal at branches, cheque clearance and loan approvals might be affected due to the strike. But ATMs are likely to function as usual.
