PSU bank staff to go on two-day strike from Thursday; services may get hit

Close to nine lakh employees of various state-run banks will go on a two-day nationwide strike beginning Thursday to protest against the government's move to privatise two public sector lenders, union leaders said.

Most of the banks, including the State Bank of India (SBI), have already cautioned their customers about the strike's possible impact on banking operations like cheque clearance and fund transfer.
