Finance Ministry to Meet Bank Chiefs as Strike Threat Looms Over Services
The Finance Ministry will meet public sector bank and regional rural bank chiefs on Monday to assess contingency plans ahead of a three-day nationwide strike called by the United Forum of Bank Unions for September 28. The stoppage is expected to disrupt banking operations for up to five days when weekends and the holiday-linked spillover are factored in, raising pressure on lenders and policymakers to protect customer services and payment continuity.
