As part of the nationwide protest programs organized by the All India Private Sector Bank Unions Cell, a state-level dharna was held outside the headquarters of the Catholic Syrian Bank in Thrissur on Monday. The protest sought immediate action on various issues affecting employees of private sector banks across the country.
Former Minister of State for Agriculture VS Sunilkumar inaugurated the dharna. All-India Bank Employees’ Association (AIBEA) All-India Convenor and AR State President Sujith Raju presided over the event. AIBEA All India Joint Secretary and State General Secretary B. Ramprakash delivered the keynote address.
The dharna raised major demands, including the nationalization of private sector banks; appointment of permanent officers and sub-employees in private banks; withdrawal of punitive measures against Federal Bank employees; and the implementation of a long-term revision of the salaries of ČSB employees.
Before the dharna, a protest march was organized from the former headquarters of Dhanlaxmi Bank at Naikkanal to the headquarters of CSB Bank at St. Mary’s College Road, the scene of the demonstration.
