The Chief Minister's Office has formally objected to banks operating on Sundays, citing concerns over weekend work schedules.
The Chief Minister's Office (CoMSO) has lodged an official objection to the practice of banks opening their counters on Sundays. The objection was reported by Hub News, which highlighted the office's concerns about the impact of weekend operations on staff and public services.
While a few banks in the country have experimented with Sunday hours to cater to customer demand, the CoMSO argues that such a move disrupts the traditional weekly rest day for employees and could set a precedent for other sectors.
The office has called for a review of the policy and urged banking authorities to consider the welfare of employees before expanding Sunday operations. No further details on possible regulatory actions have been released at this stage.
