Kathmandu. KATHMANDU: The Bank and Financial Institutions Employees Confederation of Nepal (CBFIN) has condemned the shameful, disgusting and violent misbehavior meted out to the staffers of the Jyoti Bikas Bank branch in Rupani of Saptari district. According to Cibfin, the bank’s employees were treated unfairly when they came to the meeting to resolve the issue of the bank’s loan installments not being regularized for a long time.

The borrower group led by the responsible officials of the local level has systematically controlled the bank employees for hours and behaved inhumanely and animally. According to Sibfin, the incident also included a violent attack on the employee. However, the association has expressed serious objection to the local security bodies exerting pressure for settlement without registering the victim’s complaint instead of bringing the culprits to book. Sibfin believes that such behavior sends a message that protects the guilty rather than provides a sense of justice.

The association has strongly demanded the Government of Nepal, the Ministry of Home Affairs and its subordinate security bodies to take stern action against all those involved in such barbaric incidents that have a serious psychological impact on the lives of dutiful employees.TAG_OPEN_div_20

“As the government works to promote peace, security, good governance and economic activities by easing the unusual situation following the Genji Movement, the CIFIN said it views the attack on banks and financial institutions and their employees as an attack not only on the employees or the banking sector, but also on the state system itself.”TAG_OPEN_div_18

The association has drawn the attention of the government to the illegal activities like tarnishing the credibility, dignity and credibility of the banking sector, encouraging non-payment of interest and principal of loans, spreading rumours, obstructing the banking business and physically attacking and defaming the employees.TAG_OPEN_div_16

Despite the legal provision to lodge a complaint against the banking service to the upper management of the concerned bank or the Grievance Hearing Unit of the Nepal Rastra Bank, Cibfin has warned that such reprehensible acts would endanger the future of the entire banking sector and the country.TAG_OPEN_div_14

The association has appealed to all responsible bodies including the Federal, State and Local governments, the Ministry of Home Affairs to create a safe environment to ensure the effective security of the banks and financial institutions and their employees.TAG_OPEN_div_12
