Thiruvananthapuram: The banks will have stopped working for four days since Saturday. March 13th is the second Saturday and March 14th is Sunday, while a nationwide bank strike will take place on March 15th and 16th.

All bank employee associations will take part in the strike against the privatization of public sector banks.

People are concerned when ATMs run out of money when banks are closed continuously for four days. However, banking authorities said it was unlikely.

The offsite ATMs, which are located far from the bank branches, are replenished by outsourcing agencies. Since these agencies are not participating in the strike, the ATMs are unlikely to run out of money.

The ATMs near the bank branches offer the possibility of withdrawing and depositing money. When the banks are not working, the public can rely on these ATMs to deposit funds.
