Hundreds of bank employees joined the stay out strike called by United Forum of Bank Unions on Wednesday against the merger of three banks Bank of Baroda, Vijaya Bank and Dena Bank.

They said the government decide to merge the three banks but the effect will be directly on the employees as many will lose jobs.

They threaten to intensity the agitation if the government fails to listen to their demands.

Due to the stay out strike the routine working of the bank came to a halt and people get affected as after the Christmas holiday yesterday they are unable to get on with their transactions.
