Convenor of the West Bengal chapter of UFBU, the umbrella organisation of nine bank unions, Nagendranath Bhattacharya said all branches of PSU, private and foreign banks downed their shutters responding to the strike call.
Most of the ATMs across the state also remained inoperative, he told reporters here.
He said the strike had been called to protest against non-revision of wages as per the tenth bipartite agreement with the Indian Banks Association (IBA).
The United Forum of Reserve Bank Officers and Employees also expressed solidarity with the striking bankers.
