In a heart-wrenching incident, the Canara Bank branch in Kakor Kala, lost its young and dedicated branch manager to a sudden heart attack. The manager, aged just 38, had been transferred from Aizawl, Mizoram, to Baghpat in 2021—a move that came with significant challenges as he navigated a new language and culture. Despite not being fluent in Hindi, his warm and cooperative nature won the admiration of colleagues and clients alike.
This tragic passing has raised pressing questions about the mounting pressures faced by bankers today. Many in the banking community point to the demanding workload and a highly stressful work culture that takes a serious toll on health. For a professional so young, such a loss underscores the urgent need for addressing the strain placed on employees in the financial sector.
