In the backdrop of the disappearance of gold worth around ₹4.07 crore from the State Bank of India branch of Gara, Srikakulam district, officials of the SBI took a series of measures to instill confidence among the customers in the branch.
They held meetings with the customers and said that such incident had never occurred anywhere in India, while adding that the bank would take complete responsibility to return the jewellery pledged with the bank. The customers who have been agitating for the last few days maintained restraint on Saturday, with the assurances coming from the bank’s senior executives.
