Finance Ministry to Meet Bank Chiefs on Service Continuity Amid Planned Strike
The Finance Ministry has scheduled a meeting on Monday with chief executives of public sector banks, regional rural banks, and NABARD to discuss measures ensuring uninterrupted banking services during a planned three-day strike starting September 28. The strike, called by the United Forum of Bank Unions representing 90% of bank employees, demands a five-day banking week and pension improvements. The strike may affect services for five days, coinciding with the banking sector's half-yearly closing. Authorities aim to minimize disruption and maintain essential customer services.
