Banks must take not a 'haircut' but a head-cut' if the menace has to be contained.
They should stop sanctioning any advance in 24-48hours as it is only money lenders and not bankers who can do that.

Irresponsible lending to the corporates should end if the menace has to stop. It is good that the RBI woke up from the slumber. But the moot question is when will the banks wake up and shake up?
