[Talk-in] Change of merged bank names in OpenStreetMap

[Srihari Thalla]

I have a couple of questions

1. Several Associate Banks are located in the same locality. Will they be
operated or be shut down?
2. Referring to the above, they tend to have the same "branch" name as in
"Chandanagar Branch". What about them?

Did SBI release any info about these issues? I remember reading some news
articles that some of the branches would be closed down.

If an automated script isn't preferred, one can download using the Overpass
query in JOSM (File > Download via Overpass) [1] and update accordingly.
