Strike paralyses functioning of banks, post offices

Patna, Sep 7 (PTI) Functioning of commercial banks and several public services across Bihar were affected in the wake of the country-wide strike called by trade unions to protest price rise, alleged violation of labour laws and disinvestment in PSUs.

B Prasad, Bank Employees' Federation (Bihar) General Secretary, claimed the strike was total in Bihar.

Most banks, except State Bank of India (SBI) branches, wore a deserted look as the employees held demonstrations and staged procession across the state, he claimed.

"Clearing operations was halted due to the strike, which also received support from some private banks in Bihar," he said adding the NABARD office too was closed.

Officials said functioning of offices of BSNL and Department of Posts was partially affected due to the strike.

The strike, however, failed to have an impact on operation of flights at Jayaprakash Narayan International Airport here, airport sources said.
