Wills Cup Ticket Craze!
By Our Staff Correspondent
22 October 1998
Officials of different government and semi government organisations
yesterday demanded tickets from the IFIC Bank Federation Branch at
Motijheel, after the official hours for selling tickets for the
forthcoming Wills Cup Cricket tournament, witnesses said.
Pressure from different organisations to sell tickets mounted,
compelling the bank officials to continue sale of tickets even after
2:00 pm yesterday.
At one stage, the ticket seekers became unruly and forced the bankers
to comply with their demand.
Some officials were stranded in the bank till midnight.
MD of IFIC, when contacted over telephone, denied that there were any
untoward incident regarding sale of tickets. He, however, said that
officials were working till late hours, busy finishing their
accounting work.
