The ongoing protest against the proposed shifting of the State Bank of India’s zonal office from Dhanbad to Deoghar has gained steam, with over 100 hard coke unit owners of the district writing to SBI chairman Rajnish Kumar, asking him to reconsider.
“Industrial zone Dhanbad is better suited than pilgrimage centre Deoghar for the SBI zonal office. We want to know why Dhanbad — a top revenue earner — is being ignored,” president of Industries and Commerce Association B.N. Singh said.
The letter to the SBI chairman by the hard coke unit owners has been sent under the banner of the association.
