Bank says no to Braich’s $1.2 bn

Yes Bank on Friday rejected mysterious investor Erwin Singh Braich’s $1.2 billion investment offer but said it will raise Rs10,000 crore by issuing securities

Yes Bank’s independent director Uttam Prakash Agarwal has resigned citing “serious concerns” on “deteriorating practices” and the state of affairs at the private sector lender.

“I hereby tender my resignation from the office of the Independent Director of Yes Bank as also Chairman of Audit Committee and Member of all other Committees of the Board with immediate effect,” he said in his resignation letter.

There are serious concerns regarding deteriorating standards of the corporate governance, failure of compliance, management practices and the manner in which the state of affairs of the bank are being conducted by CEO and MD Ravneet Gill and others, Agarwal said. — PTI

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
