The government asks public sector banks (PSUs) to keep stock ATMs supplied and to keep selected branches open ahead of a three-day strike. The move is aimed at maintaining essential banking access during the disruption. NDTV reports the government communicates these operational expectations to PSU banks in advance of the protest period.

The reports also say discussions are underway for the upcoming bipartite settlement, which covers pay and service-related issues. Negotiations are described as beginning ahead of a November 2027 deadline, with the goal of completing the process well in advance. Across the available coverage, the focus remains on continuity of banking services during the strike and the parallel timetable for formal wage/terms talks.
