Mangaluru: Opposing the Central Government's decision to merge the Karavali-based Vijaya Bank with the Gujarat-based Bank of Baroda and Dena Bank, the District Youth Congress has called for Mangaluru Bandh on January 9.
Speaking at a press conference here on Sunday, Youth Congress District President Mithun Rai said that bandh would be observed from 6 am to 4 pm on January 9.
"Why is Nalin Kumar Kateel silent on the process of merging in-profit Vijaya Bank with two banks in loss? Has the MP given the D.K district to PM Modi on lease," he asked.

Trump says he ‘hasn’t even thought about’ continuing Iran ceasefire
Washington: US President Donald Trump has said he has not yet considered whether he would continue the ceasefire involving Iran, while also claiming the United States holds the advantage in negotiations.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said he was prepared to make a deal with “whoever is running the show” in Iran.
“They are fighting with each other, there’s tremendous infighting. They’re probably fighting for leadership in many cases. I think they’re fighting not to be leader because we knocked out two levels of leaders,” he said.
Trump added, “When they want they can call me. We have all the cards, we’ve won everything.”
Referring to ongoing negotiations, he said, “They gave us a paper that should’ve been better. And, interestingly, immediately when I cancelled it [envoy trip to Pakistan], within 10 minutes we got a new paper that was much better.”
“We talked about they will not have a nuclear weapon, very simple … They offered a lot, but not enough,” he added.
When asked whether he would continue the ceasefire, Trump replied, “I haven’t even thought about it.”
The remarks come as uncertainty remains over the future of the temporary truce and broader negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
