Kerala Bank Manager Bans Beef In Office, staff protests with 'Beef Party'

A group of Canara Bank employees in Ernakulam staged an unusual protest by organising a “beef party” after a newly appointed bank manager allegedly banned the canteen from serving the meat type.

Protesters claimed that the regional manager, who is of Bihari origin, instructed the canteen not to serve beef.

Bank Employees Federation of India (BEFI) staged the protest. Initially, they were set to protest against the alleged insulting behaviour of the manager and mental harassment. However, after the beef ban, the employees decided to celebrate a “beef party.”

“A small



canteen operates here, and beef is served on select days. The manager informed the canteen staff that beef should no longer be served. This bank functions according to the guidelines of the Constitution. Food is a personal choice. In India, every individual has the right to choose their food. We are not forcing anyone to eat beef. This is simply our form of protest,” the federation leader, SS Anil, told the outlet.

Independent MLA KT Jaleel reacted to the incident, praising the protestors. In a translated Facebook post, he wrote, “It is not up to the superior officers to decide what to wear, what to eat, what to think.”
