KOCHI: A bit of workers below the banner of the Financial institution Staff Federation of India (BEFI) staged a novel protest on the regional place of work of Canara Financial institution in Kochi on Thursday, alleging that the regional supervisor had banned the serving of pork within the financial institution’s canteen.The protesting workers served pork on the premises, claiming that the newly appointed regional supervisor, a local of Bihar, had prompt the canteen personnel to not serve the dish as he does now not devour it.Apparently, the protest used to be first of all deliberate towards the regional supervisor on fees of mentally harassing a girl worker. Alternatively, the demonstration in the end changed into a “pork protest.”“A canteen has been functioning throughout the financial institution for years, serving each vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, together with pork, every now and then. The executive’s directive to not serve pork is an infringement on person freedom of selection. Banning pork in a public sector financial institution violates the rights assured through the Indian Charter,” stated a senior BEFI chief.
