Coimbatore: Anti-Corruption Week is being observed across the country from October 31 to November 6 every year. Accordingly, awareness is being created among the public by various government departments with the objective of "Corruption-free India to become a developed nation" this year.
As a part of this, the Bank of India in Coimbatore is organizing various programmes to create awareness among the public about corruption.
Earlier, a speech competition and essay competition was held among school children on the theme "Corruption-free India to become a developed nation".
This was followed by a human chain and walkathon awareness programme on behalf of bank employees today.

Speaking on the occasion, Bank of India's Coimbatore Regional Manager Anbumani urged the public to refrain from paying bribes at government-related places, especially in foreign countries.
