The bank’s main branch has been closed due to an attack by an official of the Agrani Bank.
Sonali Bank of state-owned government employees and employees of all levels charged in the first month. Now, it will continue to provide wages to retired government officials and employees and will provide such allowances to social allowances. The second week will begin to pay the wages of the MPO. This will continue until April 1. As a result, the bank has been unable to reduce jatla at 8,222 branches across the country.
The directive to maintain social distance to protect against coronavirus does not have a problem with most of the branches of this state-owned bank. The older receivers have to be in line with the shock. As a result, bank officials are at risk and clients are unsure. Bank officials are angry at this, searching for social media solutions through images. But this is not being addressed, the crowds at the branches are increasing day by day.
This cannot be said to be the case with Sonali Bank. The situation is similar for many other public and private sector banks. Especially at various private sector branches of Islamic banks, the crowd is noticeable.
Meanwhile, a main bank branch has been closed after an Agri Bank officer attacked Corona. The senior officer held the position until last Sunday. Today, the crowns are reported to have been tested. When asked, the Managing Director of the Agrani Bank, Mohammad Shams ul Islam, told First Light that all officers were asked to remain in the quarantine of the house by closing the branch. All the branch activities will be carried out from the branch of the neighboring court of Amin.
In addition to this, coronary patients have been identified and locked up in different areas of the capital, as well as in different districts and upazilas. Banks are closing branches in areas where the closure is taking place.

Bangladesh Bank has ordered continued banking services to a limited extent on public holidays. However, due to the payment of the salary allowance, all branches of Sonali Bank under State ownership are open. While Agrani and Rupali Bank have opened some branches, Janata Bank has kept all branches open. Private banks have also opened a significant number of their branches. But other banks are not as crowded as Sonali Bank.
Bangladesh Agricultural Bank (BAB) has opened all its branches. There are around 5,900 BKB branches across the country. Ali Hossain Pradhan, Managing Director of the bank, told First Light: “There is a government allocation to pay, so all branches have been kept open to ensure security.”
Twenty-five branches of the Islamic bank’s private sector are open. The bank’s clients are more than 1.5 billion. Therefore, the customer is less crowded at all branches.
According to Bank of Bangladesh sources, around 5,000 branches are opened in around 3,000 bank branches in the country. Banking takes place from 9 a.m. at 3 p.m. Bankers must be forced to work on holidays. For this, some banks grant risk subsidies to employees, but most banks do not.
Sonali Bank Managing Director (MD) Ataur Rahman said in a statement to employees on the bank’s website: “The evaluation of the work of those who work diligently in the face of such fears will not be out of reward.”
Meanwhile, some photos of Thakurgaon branch of Sonali Bank, Bancharampur branch of Brahmanbaria, Parnitala branch of Naogaon, Gaibandha branch have been discussed via social media. People laugh all over the branch, where social distance cannot be maintained.
Regarding the reason for opening the bank, Sonali MD Ataur Rahman said at first glance that government officials and employees earn wages through the distribution of various subsidies under the social security program. Therefore, despite the limitations, the service must continue for humanitarian reasons.
Deputy CEO of Islami Bank Abu Reza Md. Yahya told First Light: “We have tried to motivate customers in different ways so that they can take various Internet-based services, including ATM, CDM.” Still, it is becoming difficult to handle the crowds at the branch.
Bankers have expressed disappointment with security and social security. They say that social distance is the main way to deal with Corona. There we are offering banking service from a very close location. There is harassment when going to the bank. There are no vehicles again. Many times the office will walk.
Increasing service
Bangladesh Bank has ordered the bank to continue to provide limited services during the holidays. Bangladesh Bank said that in addition to depositing and withdrawing money from 8 a.m. At 12 p.m., only emergency foreign transactions will begin. March 25, DD and money order services are about to begin. The transaction was later extended on April 2. The Treasury also announced the launch of various services under the bill sending and clearing system. After that, the central bank ordered the withdrawal of cash and the withdrawal of earnings each month. As a result, the situation is worsening, the number of bank services is increasing.
What is the alternative proposal?
Bankers have offered some alternatives to keep the banking service running. This includes keeping banking services limited to just depositing and withdrawing money. Stop withdrawing money from branches of people who have an ATM card. Limit customer access to branches. Separate day service with emphasis and odd numbers. Those who deposit small amounts of money each month, their deposits are now suspended. In addition, some have suggested reducing the bank’s business days.
