Bank Unions Announce Nationwide Strike for Today

Bank unions representing employees of several major banks have issued a notice for a one‑day strike to be observed today across the country. The announcement was made through union leaders and circulated on social media platforms, urging members to halt all routine work.
The strike is expected to affect routine banking operations such as cash withdrawals, cheque clearing and customer service counters, although essential services like ATMs may continue to function. Banks have been asked to inform their customers in advance about possible delays.
Union representatives said the action is intended to pressurise authorities and bank management on pending issues affecting staff, but they did not disclose specific demands in the statement. The government and banking regulators have been urged to engage in dialogue to resolve the matter.
Customers are advised to plan their banking transactions accordingly and to use digital channels where possible to avoid inconvenience.
