Bank functioning without Branch Manager for three months
Phek, October 2 (MExN): The Phek District Voluntary Consumers’ Organization (PDVCO) has demanded immediate posting of a Branch Manager at State Bank of India (SBI), Phek branch. A press release from PDVCO informed that the bank branch has been functioning without a Manager since the first week of July.
PDVCO President, Vekhoneyi Venuh said the last Manager who left Phek during the first week of July reportedly on transfer, was yet to be replaced till date. The PDVCO had issued a press statement on August 20 making the same demand, however, no action has been taken “leaving behind the public outcry with deaf attitude,” lamented Venuh.
In view of the bank branch functioning without its Manager for more than 3 months, the people of the town and the entire neighbouring villages are suffering untold miseries, he added. “All official proceedings, both in transaction and other banking related matters, had to be halted, creating immense problems to the customers leaving with no option other than wait for more than 3 months.”
The PDVCO on behalf of the entire denizens of Phek area has sincerely appealed to the authority concerned to “rescue” the people without any further delayed.
The PDVCO warned that on ignoring the public demand, the PDVCO along with the frontal organizations, like-minded people and with the support of the public of Phek Town will initiate its own course of action. The PDVCO while appealing to the higher authorities to look into the genuine matter of the public further requested the public to lend unflinching support and fight for justice without further delay.
