Anup Sinha, Senior Manager of Titagarh Branch in West Bengal of a nationalised Bank has expired at the age of 34 only yesterday at about 2 pm because of cardiac arrest shortly after being admonished severely by his superior officer at controlling office for failure to achieve budgetary target in disbursement of loans. It is needless to mention that if any loan sanctioned & disbursed under pressure, turns out NPA, the Manager concerned will be accused of malafide or negligence & will be penalised to make good the loss. Although big tickets loans of hundreds or thousand crores sanctioned by the Bank Boards constituted by the Govt go bad, Bank becomes a toothless lender to recover the dues & Govt allows the recalcitrant defaulters like Nirab Modi & his ilk to leave the country as fugitives. Legal process is initiated to recover dues. But the courts turn their hawkish eyes on the hapless Bankers at the bottom of the echelon to indict them to the glee of the loan defaulters.
Bank officers are now wretched God-forsaken hapless fellow sandwiched between stupendous multifaceted workload with unregulated working hours & Controllers' inhuman pressure for target achievement. They are being murdered by slow poisoning. The Officers' unions should come out openly to save their members from depression, health breakdown & suicidal mindset. God save the Bankers who have become low paid financial foot soldiers without recognition & empathy from the Govt & even from their own superiors.
R I P Anup Sinha! You have been murdered by the insensitive Govt machinery & callous Bank management. It is a curse to be a Bank officer
