Staff created turmoil in banks

The bank employees had a tough time with exchange of demonetized currencies across the length and breadth of the country. Many staff spent extra hours in banks after their scheduled duty time in support of government's firm action to contain black money. However,  a few employees had turned their back to the endeavor. The 12th state Conference of Bank Employees Federation of India(BEFI) was on these days compelling a few staff to keep away from bank. About 450 bank employees from across the state who are supposed to  work in their respective banks to mitigate the problems relating demonetization drive were away for the meet. The currency boxes and ten rupee coin containers issued by RBI to bank branches still remain unopened. What the available staff done was issue of 2000 rupee notes.

The turmoil in banks was thus a planned service dereliction of  some staff and they are to be  be blamed for the trouble caused to the people. The argument that BEFI conference did not affect the functioning of the banks, is is not correct.

The extra ordinary difficult situation in bank branches was thus a planned action created by some  unscrupulous bank staff.
