Officers & staff sacrificed their Sunday to ensure the 3-day strike’s success. 1 day salary alone is not sufficient. We deserve one compensatory off, preferably on 3rd oct. Our contribution deserves tangible compensation, not merely appreciation. @aiboc_in@UFBUIndia@rupamsmail
Hi @SushantBSinha,
U stood with us when it mattered.
U supported us, raised ur voice & never backed away.
But when it was unions turn they failed you.
For that, we owe you an apology.
We may have failed you, but we will never forget the solidarity you showed us.
#Thankyou 🙏
कमाल की रिपोर्टिंग की है, @SushantBSinha जी ने,
बहुत साधुवाद...
बैंकर्स के दर्द को छलका दिया है...
और बिल्कुल ठीक पहचाना है, ये UFBU ही है जो हर बार आम बैंकर्स की पीठ में छुरा घोंपती है...
आम बैंकर क्या करे बेचारा...
Bankers are demanding five days work week.. and the system is still not listening. This is the story of why they must.
In memory of my dear friend, Durgesh Ranjan, 40, Branch Manager, of a PSB somewhere in Rural North India.
The last time we spoke, his voice was tired but glowing. He told me about the PMJJBY loans he had disbursed to the needy, how the villagers treated him like their own elder, how he called his job his life's purpose.
"Through this chair, this stamp, these papers, I get to do good for society," he said. He meant every word. He always did.
On the night of 24th September, Durgesh was found dead in his car on the Lucknow–Varanasi highway. Police recovered a letter he left behind.
The letter said: "I am ending my life myself. No one should be blamed for this. I apologise to everyone."
Even in his final moments, he was apologising. The kindest people always do.
His wife, told police he had been under stress for about a week. One week of visible stress, and behind it, years of invisible weight. A branch manager's chair in a PSB today carries impossible targets, endless audits, relentless calls, seven days of duty disguised as a job.
Durgesh never complained. Not once. He carried it all quietly, completely, alone.
He didn't fall because he was weak. He fell because he was asked to be strong every single day, without rest, without pause, without anyone saying: "Enough. Go home. Live your life."
A five-day work week is not a luxury. It is not laziness. It is not entitlement.
It is oxygen. The villagers didn't respect Durgesh because he worked seven days. They respected him because he was kind, patient, and present. A banker who has rested can serve with heart. Bankers hold entire communities together, but who holds the bankers?
Nearly 90 bank employee deaths and suicides have been reported since 2014. Durgesh is no longer just a statistic to us. He was a friend. A son. A husband. A man who helped forty-seven families sleep peacefully while his own sleep was stolen by files and targets.
No more Durgesh Ranjans. No more families shattered by a system that keeps asking for more. No public sector bank employee should ever suffer this fate again.
Five days of work. Two days of life. They deserve it. *He deserved it.
Rest in peace, brother. You should still be sitting behind that counter, laughing with your villagers, calling me at midnight about the forty-eighth family you helped.
We will keep telling your story until the rules finally change. 🙏

But where is the accountability for @DFS_India officials?
Policy decisions have consequences. Who is accountable for them?
Accountability cannot be demanded only from bank employees up to Scale III.
Are policymakers themselves beyond accountability?
ASK THE QUESTION. DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY.
