Mumbai, July 30: The business district here wore a deserted look with thin presence of employees at banks, financial institutions and corporate offices in view of Shiv Sena-BJP sponsored Mumbai bandh. Some of the bank branches were open but had thin employee attendance and few customers turned up for conducting transactions.
Reserve Bank of India spokesperson said the clearing house is open but the impact of bandh on banking operations would be known only in the later part of the day.
The spokespersons of both the stock exchanges, BSE and NSE, said the trading operations have commenced on a normal note.
The broking houses with offices in south Mumbai had limited employee attendance. Due to electronic and telephone based transactions, the bandh may have only marginal impact on share trading, a dealer with a share broking firm said. Bureau Report
