Bank
‘withdraws’
credit cards
Ludhiana, August 27
The ICICI Bank has reportedly withdrawn credit cards issued to a
number of its customers. Without giving any reasons, the customers
were told that they should not use their cards. When contacted, local
officials claimed that they had no idea about the matter since the
cards were directly issued from the head office in Mumbai.
LUDHIANA
CALLING
IT
is a typical case of the pot calling kettle black. Like elsewhere in
the country, leaders of the Bharaitya Janata Party and the
Congress in Ludhiana are also embroiled in heated exchange of charges
and counter-charges over various omissions and commissions. After the
NDA government’s favours in allotment of petrol pumps were exposed,
the BJP workers in Ludhiana started collecting data of various petrol
pumps and gas agencies owned by the Congress workers, leaders or their
relatives in the district and circulated them across the media.
