Kannur garment company takes stand for peace amid Israel-Hamas conflict

Amidst the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, a garment manufacturing company in Kannur has taken a principled stand against providing uniforms that could potentially be used in the midst of war and violence. This ethical decision stems from the loss of thousands of innocent lives due to the escalating conflict.

The Kannur-based Maryan Apparels Company has declared that it will no longer accept orders to produce Israeli police uniforms until peace is restored. This decision to withhold further orders for Israeli forces has gained attention on social media and reflects a commitment to peace and a concern for the human toll of ongoing conflicts.

In a press statement, the company’s Managing Director, Thomas Olickal, emphasized that their dedication to universal humanity outweighs financial gains, especially given the deeply troubling events unfolding in the region.
