Bank Unions Warn Centre Of Agitation

गोदी मीडिया के उपभोक्ताओं को बड़ा झटका

 

The United Forum of Bank Union (UFBU), an umbrella body of nine bank unions, called for a two-day nationwide strike on March 15 and 16 against the privatisation of public sector banks and retrograde banking reforms. Over 10 lakh bank employees and officers participated in the strike. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has assured that not all banks will be privatised and wherever it happens, the interest of the employees will be protected. Addressing the media amid a two-day nationwide bank strike called by nine unions against the proposed privatisation, she said, "The decision of privatization is a well thought out decision. We want banks to get more equity... We want banks to meet the aspirations of the country". She added, "Those banks which are likely to get privatised, the interest of every staff member will be protected. Interest of existing employees will be protected at all cost.” Watch the full episode of Prime Time with Ravish Kumar for more.

Clever modification to a vehicle in Gujarat, India

What probably gave them away was the 'clinking' noise from the bottles when the truck moved. They should've used a damping material like straws or sponges between bottles while stacking the load. Amateurs 😏



Nothing much clever. The transporters are regularly doing such modifications to their vehicles to carry extra load or even contraband. Some are even strengthening their suspension springs. What will happen to the engine and the road is another story.

The Sikhs of Smethwick: Full BBC Documentary

Midlands filmmaker Billy Dosanjh celebrates 50 years of the Sikhs in his hometown of Smethwick, from their arrival in the late 1950s and early 60s to the present day. Using rare archive and the frank personal testimony of different generations of Smethwick's Sikhs, he explores the experiences of the changing traditions and the challenges to centuries old traditions - especially in love and marriage - that life in modern Britain brings.

 

Using rare and unseen archive Billy goes on a moving journey through space and time - from farm life in northern India to the searing heat of work in the steel factories of Britain's Black Country; from extreme rural poverty to the have-it-all consumer culture of today; from strict traditions to a world of tolerance and the modern permissive society.

Billy tells of the hostility and tough working conditions the first Sikhs experienced when they arrived in Smethwick. He shows the old customs that they tried to keep from their impoverished villages in the Punjab. Examining the challenges of the modern world and how their traditions have evolved, especially when it comes to love and marriage, Billy gives a personal insight to the world of his community, and the way its culture has adapted across the generations to the challenges of life in modern Britain.
