Imphal, December 17 2021:
The two-day nationwide strike launched by United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) against the Central government's policy to privatise two public sector banks and proposed plan to table Banking Laws (Amendment) Bill 2021, which ended on Friday, affected banking services in the state.
According to UFBU Manipur state convener L Maipak, they also carried out similar strike in March this year against the proposed Bill, which will allow privatisation of public sector banks anytime.
There are reliable reports of the government planning to table the Bill in the ongoing parliament session.
Privatisation of public sector banks will affect the common people largely and the forum stands against such anti-people policy, he said.
