After a video of a 70-year-old woman who was seen walking barefoot to collect her pension from a bank in Odisha's Jharigaon went viral on social media, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman tagged the State Bank of India (SBI) account on Twitter and urged them to take cognisance of the issue.

"Can see the manager of the @TheOfficialSBI responding but yet wish @DFS_India and @TheOfficialSBI take cognisance of this and act humanely. Are they no bank Mitra?" she asked on Twitter, while responding to the video.
