Bank strike 12-07-2016 and 13-07-2016 called off

                      The bank employees' strike planned for July 12 and 13 was called off late on Monday, after the Delhi High Court earlier in the day accepted the plea of the State Bank of India (SBI) to restrain the strike by its associate banks.

                   SBI had asked for a restraining order as bank operations are likely to get affected at its associate banks. The Delhi HC accepted the SBI's plea and restrained bank unions - State Sector Bank Employees Association (SSBEA) and All India Bank Employees' Association (AIBEA) from going ahead with the strike, according to agency reports.
