HDFC bank employee dies after allegedly succumbing to work pressure in Lucknow
Lucknow: An HDFC Bank employee, Sadaf Fatima, died at the bank’s Vibuti Khand branch in Gomti Nagar on Tuesday. Fatima, who held the position of Additional Deputy Vice-President, reportedly collapsed in her office and was rushed to a nearby hospital where she was declared dead. Her body has been sent for a postmortem.
Colleagues allege that Fatima's death may have been caused by excessive work pressure, drawing comparisons to a similar recent incident involving an Ernst & Young employee in Pune.
Reacting to the incident, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav criticised the increasing work stress in both government and private sectors. Yadav emphasised that employees are working under immense pressure and lack the freedom to voice their concerns. He also took aim at Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, who had suggested that youth should learn stress management, accusing her of being insensitive to the plight of workers.
This tragic incident comes just days after a similar case where an Ernst & Young employee, Anna Sebastian Perayil, reportedly died due to work overload in Pune.
