New Delhi, Aug 31 : Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Wednesday urged Regional Rural Banks (RRBs) to remove duplication of Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY) accounts and facilitate storage facility for apple growers in Jammu & Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh.

At a review meeting of the RRBs of the Northern region in the capital, Sitharaman said that banks should map RRBs with MSME (micro, small & medium enterprise) clusters and put greater thrust on increasing the network of rural branches in cluster areas identified by the Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises.
