PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR THE BANKERS
SBI Officers’ Association is the representing body of Officers’ in three states viz Punjab, Haryana & Himachal Pradesh and three UTs viz. Chandigarh, J&K and Ladakh. You will also appreciate that Banks are a public place frequented by a large number of customers from various strata of the society. The huge footfall in a branch premises makes the place all the more vulnerable for spread of the virus. Moreover, currency notes are a major source of contamination. Therefore, we have requested the Chief Ministers/ Administrator and Lt Governors of these states/UTs to initiate steps to curtail the spread of VIRUS through Bank branches and only allow opening of branches on alternate days or twice a week for essential financial transactions.
