Bank employees have urged the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, to take "expeditious" steps to fill up the top posts in several public sector banks (PSBs), which are headless.

Currently, the post of Chairman and Managing Director remain "unfilled" in as many as six PSBs, AIBEA General Secretary C H Venkatachalam has said in a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Also, the post of executive director in Allahabad Bank, Andhra Bank, UCO Bank, and Union Bank of India remain "unfilled", the AIBEA letter said.
