This committee will explore, all possible alternatives; discuss with all stakeholders, and work out a solution acceptable to all stakeholders and, more importantly, the customers,” a late night communication said.Unions want a five-day work week, which is being resisted by banks as it may inconvenience customers.The late-night announcement came after what turned out to be a working Sunday for state-run bank employees as govt ordered branches to stay open so that customers are not inconvenienced.
