Bank strike against merger today; several branches, ATMs likely to be shut

Employees of two bank unions are on a 24-hour strike from Tuesday morning, which could affect the banking operations across India. The bank strike has been called in protest against the Central government's decision to merge 10 public sector banks into four bigger banks. The two unions of bank employees -- All India Bank Employees Association (AIBEA) and Bank Employees Federation of India (BEFI) have jointly called for the strike.
