Yesterday, the bank had informed about a day's strike on April 12, 2017 to press their demand related with wage issues.
The association had also written a letter to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, seeking his intervention in the matter.

In view of this, the strike to be observed today has been deferred and Union has decided to attend bilateral talks to explore the possibility of settlement, he said.
