SRINAGAR: Residents of Ajas in North Kashmir’s Bandipora district are aghast over alleged lackadaisical approach of employees towards account-holders at locally setup branch of Jammu and Kashmir Bank. A delegation of aggrieved account holders said that the staff has been taking them on a ride and playing down their genuine issues. “The bank staff is acting indifferent towards our genuine issues, be it regarding cash transactions, sanctioning of loan or any other trivial matter”, they alleged that the bank has been instead entertaining cases of a selected group of people who act as sort of touts and thereby putting commoners into jeopardy.

When contacted, PRO, J&K Bank, Ajaz Zargar said that the people from the area should come with a formal representation. “We assure the grievances would be done away with at an earliest." (GNS)
