A video that has now gone viral on social media shows several customers using a ladder placed against a tractor to climb and get into a State Bank of India (SBI) branch in Odisha's Bhadrak district.
An anti-encroachment drive reportedly damaged the bank’s main entrance, leaving customers to climb the ladder to reach the branch.
During the anti-encroachment drive,
illegal structures were removed from Charampa market to Bhadrak’s railway station. Many shops, houses, and other structures were demolished, and a part of the SBI branch building was among them.
The front portion and the staircase of the branch building were demolished after officials found that the structure was allegedly built on encroached land. This left the building without a proper entry.
