Regional head from the regional office in Jorhat, Bhaskar Mondal, said, “We are very proud that a second branch office has come up here in Diphu. The first was at Tumpreng, West Karbi Anglong. The opening of a branch office here is one of the North East expansion programmes under which the Union Bank is pledged and is continuously expanding its branches and activities in North East India. The Union Bank of India has a rich heritage and history since 1919, whose foundation was laid by Mahatma Gandhi, the father of the nation.”
