Exhibiting compassion and solidarity in times of distress, the employees of J&K Bank have contributed Rs 4.10 Cr towards the Chief Minister's Relief Fund to support the victims of the recent floods that caused widespread destruction across Jammu & Kashmir, particularly damaging major parts of Jammu region.

General Managers Rakesh Koul and Rakesh Magotra, DGM Tanveer Hussain and other officers of the Bank were also present on the occasion.

Appreciating the gesture, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah expressed gratitude to the Bank's employees for their generosity and support in strengthening Government's efforts to deliver timely relief and assistance to those in need.

Earlier, while presenting the cheque to the Chief Minister, MD & CEO Amitava Chatterjee reiterated the Bank's unwavering commitment to the people of J&K.

MD & CEO said, "As an institution deeply rooted in this region, the Bank has always drawn its strength from the people. At a time when so many families are facing hardships due to the floods and the aftermath, it is only natural for us as a family to stand shoulder to shoulder with them. This contribution reflects the compassion of our employees and our commitment to support the rehabilitation process."
