Hajin, March 29:
Residents of Shahgund and its adjoining village in Hajin tehsil area of North Kashmir’s Bandipora district, on Wednesday assembled at main market Shahgund and held a peaceful protest and alleged that shortage of bank staff at Shahgund Branch of J&K Bank not only is affecting the usual banking but also is causing inconvenience to the visitors to bank who had to wait for hours together.
According to locals, if any one has some banking business he/she needs to enter the J&K Bank Shagund before 10:00am else no one won’t find any space to stand within bank infront of different counter of the bank.
Mudasir Ahmad Dar, a local resident said, The situation is not worrisome as one won’t find a place to stand in queue to check the Account balance or whether it is counter for
withdrawal or for cash deposit as due to staff crunch the single person has to wait at least three hours and so the queue becomes serpentine making others to wait for hours together he lamented.
Huge rush of visitors makes the task of the employees of the bank more tougher as people from Gundiboon, Gundjahangeer, Khusarpora, Vijpora and many other villages are also catered by this only bank branch in the area another customer of this bank said.
When contacted Brunch Manager Shahgund, Ashiq Ilahi for his comments over the issue he said’ that he is not aware shortage of the staff.
But if it is there it will be soon redress, he said, assuring that additional Staff will be sent there accordingly so that people’s miseries can be minimised.
