Bengaluru, Sep 20: Condemning the union government's decision to merge public sector banks, bank employees unions have given a call for two-day strike on September 26 and 27. The impact of the proposed strike will be heavy, considering that the banks also have holidays on September 28 on account of fourth Saturday and the next day, which happens to be Sunday.
Bank customers are advised to complete their bank transactions in advance as most of the bank branches will not function on these days. Banks also are required to attend to half year closing on September 30 which might partially hit banking operations. Again, October 2 is a holiday on account of Gandhi Jayanti.
Because of continuous holidays, customers might find it difficult to get enough money in bank ATMs. Therefore, the bank customers have been advised to plan in advance.
