India’s leading public sector bank, Punjab National Bank, has once again shown its humanitarian approach. Recently, the bank provided a compassionate appointment to the wife of a deceased employee in the Gwalior Circle.
An officer named Pankaj Sharma passed away. His wife has now been appointed as a Customer Service Associate (CSA) in the bank.
The Circle Head of PNB Gwalior handed over the appointment letter to Smt. Anukriti Katare, wife of Late Shri Pankaj Sharma.
This was made possible due to the extraordinary efforts of the AIPNBOA Gwalior team. The Circle Secretary, Shri Devbrat Singh Sikarwar, and Circle President, Shri Ankur Srivastava, made significant efforts to provide financial support to the family.
Pankaj Sharma was working as an Agriculture Officer at the Porsa branch. As per reports, Shri Pankaj Sharma was killed by the caretakers of Nasha Mukti Kendra in Gwalior.
The post-mortem report revealed severe injuries on his forehead, eyes, chest, and waist, along with multiple fractures from head to ribs. Police had registered a murder case against five individuals, including the center’s operators.
The incident took place at the Mini Golden Sanskar Nasha Mukti Kendra located on Shanichara Road in Gwalior. Pankaj Pachauri (Sharma), a resident of Tyagi Nagar in Gwalior and an officer at Punjab National Bank (PNB), had been admitted to the Nasha Mukti Kendra on 25 July.
He was working as Agriculture Officer and posted at Porsa, Morena District, Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh.
Two days ago, Pankaj, had escaped from the centre along with other inmates. When he returned home, he was in completely good health. However, considering his condition and for his well-being, his family informed the centre and got him readmitted. Just a few hours later, the centre admitted Pankaj to the trauma centre in a critical condition, where doctors declared him dead.
On next morning, the Nasha Mukti Kendra informed Pankaj’s family about his death. When the family saw his body, they found multiple severe injury marks on it. They claimed that just 24 hours earlier, Pankaj was healthy and had no such marks. The family has alleged that the centre’s operators, Vishal Kankar and Harsh Shinde, assaulted Pankaj, causing his death.
On 12th August, 7-8 youths including Pankaj ran away from the de-addiction centre. When Pankaj returned home he was completely healthy. His family informed the centre and staff from the centre came and found Pankaj near Baragaon Khurai and took him back. His family had raised serious complaint of murder on staff of Nasha Mukti Kendra.
All India Punjab National Bank Officers’ Association has always been at the forefront of employee welfare. Punjab National Bank has also consistently taken the lead in employee welfare, and other banks are expected to follow the same approach.
