In this regard, a memorandum of understanding was signed between the Bank and the association during an event organised at the corporate headquarters of the Bank. The MoU was signed by the Managing Director of the Bank, M. Lateif and the President of the Batamaloo Traders` Association, Abrar Ahmad Khan.
Speaking on the occasion, Chairman of the Bank, M. S. Dar said that the agreement was arrived at after a series of meetings with the office bearers of the association.
