BSNl was finally able to restore broadband services after three days here. The customers were facing problems due to link failure in Belpahar State Bank of India (SBI) branch. The Government and public sector employees were unable to draw their salaries.
Pensioners were also affected. Clearance of cheques was abysmally slow due. The ATM, single window system and E-corner facilities in the bank too went for a toss. Customers failed to make deposits and withdrawals.
The traders, patients and students encountered problems. Many customers were seen waiting in the bank from morning to evening but returning empty handed. Belpahar SBI Branch Manager Asish Kumar Dash said due to observance of Disaster Management Week by the head office at Mumbai, such problems like link failure are seen in almost all branches in the country. The officials are reviewing the situation and shortly it will be resolved.
