Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar has suggested that people holding bank lockers should mandatorily declare their valuable assets.

Drawing the attention of the union government to the issue of liability for the loss of valuable items deposited in bank lockers, Khattar on Friday said that if the valuables are disclosed, the banks can easily buy a group insurance policy for the hirers of lockers. In a letter written to the Union Finance Minister Piyush Goyal, the Chief Minister said that if, for some reasons, this is considered impractical, customers can at least be given a choice to disclose.
