The Hindu
More than 1,500 employees in Mysuru district stay away from duty
Banking and financial operations were badly affected in Mysuru and surrounding districts on Thursday consequent to the bank employees’ strike against the Banking Law (Amendments) Bill 2021.
The strike was part of a nation-wide agitation called by various unions of bank employees under the aegis of the United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU).
More than 1,500 employees in Mysuru district alone, drawn from nearly 400 branches, including workmen and officer staff stayed away from their duties and staged a demonstration in front of the State Bank of India’s zonal office in the city. They raised slogans against the bill which is likely to be introduced in the current session of Parliament.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
