State Bank of India officers stage protest in Berhampur

Staff Reporter

BERHAMPUR: Members of the officers association of the Berhampur zone of the State Bank of India (SBI) demonstrated in front of the zonal office of the bank on Wednesday afternoon.

They were protesting against the alleged apathy of the bank management towards the problems of the bank officers posted in this region of Orissa. This zone of the bank manages10 southern districts of Orissa which includes KBK districts. These officers were holding token demonstrations in front of their branches every afternoon since past one week. Their non-cooperation movement had also affected the functioning of several SBI ATM counters in the city during past one week as the officers had refused to load money on holidays. The zonal president of the officers’ association, P.K.Sahu said they were too understaffed in south Orissa although they had to cater to the needs of this underdeveloped region.
