Today early in the morning I went to SBI Elliot Road Branch Kolkata at 10:00 a.m. to open a new savings account. It was good to see that only the branch manager Mr. Saha present on time and rest all were missing. After waiting for half an hour the person incharge Mr. Rai who is always late, came to office.
When I went up to him to submit my form which has been issued by the branch manager Mr.Rai replied you will have to wait for 2 hours and if u r in hurry then u can go and come back tomorrow. I went back to the manager after getting this answer and the manager said ok I will release Mr. Rai in some time n he shall do your work.
I went back to Mr.Rai and said ok I m waiting the manager has told me that he will release u after some time, after listening to this Mr.Rai got angry and said now I will not open your account you do what ever you want to do. That made me angry too and I went to the manager again but this time all the staff of the branch started shouting and houling on the manager. It was a desperate attempt to put down the branch manager. It showed a very bad impression on me and I walked out of the branch without opening the account.
I request if any media person is reading my issue to please come forward and cover this branch's story I do have a clip of Mr. Rai too.
This laid back attitude is putting down Kolkata in all aspect and I dont believe anyone who wants to grow will ever like to stay in Kolkata.
Kolkata is no more a city of joy its a city of lazy people on earth.
