Server failure hits NBL customers in Panchthar

Phidim, September 24

A number of government officials and teachers in Panchthar district have been badly affected as they could not withdraw their salary from the Phidim-based Nepal Bank Ltd branch after its server became dysfunctional.

There are many teachers and government officials whose salary is deposited in this bank. People who came to the bank to withdraw their salary complained that they could not withdraw money even after standing in queue for the last three days.

Shree Krishna Rijal, a pensioner  of Hilihang Rural Municipality said the government should deposit their salary in private banks too for easy and quick service.

Saraswati Tamang of Aathrai, Tehrathum, who reached the bank for new bank notes, complained that she didn’t get the notes even after standing in queue for nine hours.

Locals from Aathrai, Tehrathum and some parts of Taplejung have been receiving service from the bank. Meanwhile, the bank accepted that service delivery was delayed due to server failure.
