0

A few days ago, news about a Chennai cab driver finding 9000 crores credited to his account was doing the rounds. Tamilnad Mercantile Bank had credited the sum of 9000 crores by mistake.

The bank is based in Thoothukudi and the Board of Directors held a meeting on Thursday, accepted Krishnan’s resignation and forwarded it to the Reserve Bank of India.
Till the Reserve Bank takes a decision on this issue, Krishnan will continue to be the CEO.

Designer Manish Malhotra has been roped in to do the uniforms and it looks like the uniform may be changed to churidars for women and suits for men. The colour of the uniforms however will remain the same as the airline’s new livery deep red, aubergine and gold.
Neither Manish Malhotra nor Air India commented on this proposed change in uniforms.
