AIBOA asks security for protection of bank staff

Nearly a week after the government withdrew Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes as part of a crackdown against black money and corruption, queues outside banks and ATMs have only got longer. All India Bank Officers’ Association (AIBOA), has demanded that the Government, Reserve Bank of India and the managements of the banks should arrange for protection of their staff.
Eknath Baliga, Joint General Secretary of AIBOC and president of Corporation Bank Officers’ Organisation, said that the officers and employees don’t mind sacrificing their holidays for facilitating the changeover. “It should be an eye opener for the bank managements, the government and all those at the helm of affairs that banks are the pillars of Indian economy and we are the soldiers guarding these pillars.
