The State Bank of India announced that its branches will operate on May 25 and 26, with banking services continuing normally, as the SBI staff union, under the aegis of the All India State Bank of India Staff Federation (AISBISF), has postponed its strike.
SBI in a customer advisory said the proposed strike by AISBISF on May 25 and 26 has been deferred.
“All our branches will function normally and provide all regular banking services,” SBI informed its 52 crore customers.
AISBISF gave the two-day nationwide strike call to press for various demands, including the recruitment of adequate employees.
