Sonali Bank’s former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Managing Director (MD) Ataur Rahman Pradhan was saying. Recently, he responded to Jago News about the incident of robbery in several state-owned banks in Ruma and Thanchi upazilas of Bandarban.

It is not possible to evaluate the whole thing with the unexpected events. But I think it is time to be more careful in remote areas. Financial institutions in particular are always at risk. But this bank robbery incident is not a normal incident.
Customers have no reason to worry about their savings. The customer may have some problem with the transaction. But that is temporary. The government is taking action. Basically, we need to find out where there is a deficiency in security. The light of the problem leads to the solution. Here also the solution will be found. People should be worry free.
On the day the first incident occurs, government officials and employees are likely to be paid their salaries and allowances. Banks worked till night. The miscreants may have left information that there is enough money in the bank. However, money was not lost in Ruma’s incident. In general, there is a need to be more careful in risky areas.’
