The All India State Bank of India Staff Federation (AISBISF) has postponed its planned two-day strike on May 25 and 26.

The decision comes as a relief to SBI customers, who can now avail all regular banking services without any disruption.

The federation had earlier announced the protest over several employee-related demands, including the shortage of armed guards at SBI branches.

The AISBISF had flagged the issue of inadequate security personnel at SBI branches, stemming from retirements and promotions.

This shortage, they argued, has heightened risks for employees, customers, and bank assets alike.

The strike's postponement now gives SBI a chance to address these concerns without disrupting services to its customers nationwide.
