All public sector banks in the region remained closed. The one-day strike was called by the United Forum of Banks Association, a body formed by the amalgamation of all the bank unions in the country to pressurise the Government on their demand of wage revision and banking reforms. Wednesday’s strike was somewhat different from the previous strikes as banks’ employees normally returned back to their homes after closing their branches but this time both officers and staffs were still in streets shouting slogans against the Central Government. ATMs facilities were also severely affected by the strike. For the first time the bank employees took out a massive rally in the town with posters and banners. Almost all the bank employees posted in Hazaribagh town were in this rally and they all were raising their voices against the government who is not accepting their demands in which wage revision is on top.
