Bank Workers’ Unity through the article by N.Rajagopal in the issue dated Jan 15, 2022, has highlighted the steps taken by organizations in the banking industry for provision of exclusive toilet for women.
In this regard S.Venkatesan, CPI (M) party MP from Tamilnadu, has drawn the attention of the Finance Minister, Government of India through his letter dated 25th January 2022 . In his letter he has requested the Finance Minister to instruct all the banks – Public Sector, private sector, co-operative sector banks, foreign banks, DFIs, Payment and Small Finance banks – to provide separate toilets for women employees, women customers and to women connected with the office in all bank branches and offices throughout the country. S. Venkatesan’s letter has been duly acknowledged by the FM on 7th February 2022.
Essential initiative. Heartful congrats to BEFI, Bank workers unity and Mr.S. Venkatesan for the efforts they have taken.
