IDBI Bank Tuesday said its all-India Officers' Association will observe a one-day nationwide hunger strike on March 30, over various demands. "The Bank is in receipt of notice of one-day nationwide hunger strike on March 30, 2019 from All India IDBI Officers' Association (AIIDBIOA) addressed to MD & CEO, IDBI Bank in support of their various demands," IDBI Bank said in a stock exchange filing.
