New Delhi, Aug. 30 -- Canara Bank employees are voicing opposition to the alleged beef ban in the bank's office canteen in Kerala through a protest. Demonstrators claimed that the bank manager - a Bihar native who recently took over as branch head - ordered a ban on beef in Kochi.

The protest, led by the Bank Employees Federation of India (BEFI), was initially planned against the manager's alleged insulting behaviour and mental harassment. However, after employees learned about the alleged beef ban, they redirected their protest. The demonstrators organised a "beef feast," serving beef and parotta (a type of flatbread) outside the office.
