The COVID-19 pandemic has brought a disruption to many industries forcing everyone to stay indoors and safe from contamination. Amongst all this, there are those souls who routinely risk their lives to serve and protect those in need.

The staff of Amana Bank embarked on a stride to bring smiles to the faces of the Security Forces, Police and Health workers by gifting them with sweets and confectioneries on the following day of Awurudu as a gesture of tribute and appreciation of their invaluable services.

Commenting on this gesture, Amãna Bank’s Vice President Operations Imtiaz Iqbal said, “In gratitude to all the individuals who are selflessly serving the people and the country at this hour of need, I am happy that our branch teams were able to bring a smile to them and show our respect and appreciation.”
