Mizoram banks resume Sunday operations despite CYMA and church objections

Several banks in Mizoram began serving customers on Sunday, defying objections raised by the Christian Youth Movement (CYMA) and a local church body. The decision to operate on the weekend was taken by banking authorities despite the religious groups' concerns, which were not detailed in public statements. No reports of disruptions or protests at bank premises were recorded during the day's operations. The move underscores the banks' intent to maintain regular service schedules, even when faced with community dissent.

The CYMA and the church body publicly voiced their disapproval, arguing that Sunday should remain a day of worship and rest. Their statements, however, did not specify any legal or regulatory challenges to the banks' schedule. Authorities responded by proceeding with the planned opening, emphasizing the importance of uninterrupted financial services for the public.

As of now, the banks continue to operate on Sundays, and there have been no indications of further objections or policy changes. The situation remains under observation by both financial regulators and community leaders.
