RRBs to strike work on March 10-11

RRBs to strike work on March 10-11

A large number of regional rural banks across the country will remain closed for four days this weekend because of the two-day strike on Thursday and Friday.

The United Forum of Regional Rural Bank Unions has given a call for strike on March 10 and 11 to press for a host of demands, including dumping the move for nationalisation of RRBs.

Since the two-day strike is immediately followed by a second Saturday, which is now a full holiday for the banking sector, and a Sunday, the strike will hit the operations of RRBs for four consecutive days.


TG bank closed due to strike

All branches of the Telangana Grameena Bank in Adilabad district remained closed on Thursday on account of the two-day all India strike of the officers and employees of Regional Rural Banks under the aegis of United Forum of Regional Rural Banks Unions. The UFRRBU demanded scrapping of the RRBs Amendment Act, 2015 which has paved way for private investment in the RRBs thereby diluting the social objectives with which these banks were started.

According to TGB officers union general secretary K. Damoder Reddy, other demands include withdrawal of the affidavit filed by the Government of India in the Supreme Court to facilitate implementation of pension.
