Convenience of people must get highest priority

Sometime ago, l received a message from my bank that my account needed to be KYC compliant  or else it would be frozen. I was sure  that my account  was active and updated but because of the message I visited the bank and waited for 10 minutes for my turn. On checking my account  the official confirmed that it was KYC compliant. She said this message was sent to everyone and that l should  ignore it. Last week, l received a similar message from UIDAI that my Aadhaar card needed  to be updated by producing proof of address and  identification. After l visited the Aadhaar Centre with the documents l was told that my Aadhaar card was updated and to ignore the message since it was sent to everybody. For the sake of a few people whose accounts or cards are  not updated, all are called at the bank or Centre. The employees working for these service providers should be concerned about the convenience of the  people rather than their own. They should  live up to their slogans " we serve the people", "customer  satisfaction is our motto" and  so on.
