“Transactions requiring authorization, loan processing, account issues, and grievance redressals have been delayed or left unresolved due to the absence of a responsible officer in charge,” said CNPO.

Pointing out the challenges and the continued absence of a managerial head, CNPO said the situation is not only affecting customer service but also raising questions about accountability and operational efficiency.
