Farmers Protest Over Alleged Rs 22 Crore Fraud at Punjab National Bank Greater NoidaPreviousNext

Farmers in Greater Noida are protesting outside a Punjab National Bank branch over allegations that around Rs 22 crore vanished from their accounts without consent. They claim unauthorized withdrawals and premature closure of fixed deposits, including compensation funds for land acquired for the Noida International Airport project. The protests have led to police and CBI investigations, with authorities engaging the farmers and the latter planning a mahapanchayat to demand accountability and resolution.
