A month later on March 14, men gave chocolates to men on White Day. Chocolate manufacturing companies made these two customs popular in the 1980s. But in the past few years, a debate surrounding the Giri Chako has started in the society. Many women and men are gathering around this tradition of love day in Bagbithanda.

For the colleagues to buy chocolate, many women called an unbearable pressure. In recent past, many people have abused power in the workplace by taking advantage of this practice, many women have been harassed. In view of this, many Japanese companies are now banning this practice in their office. A recent survey found that on February 14, 60 percent of women bought chocolate for themselves. For more than 56 percent of the family members, chocolate is bought. 36 percent of the female companion or the chocolate gift to the people of choice. It is seen in the survey that chocolate gifts are just too far for many women to maintain good relations with colleagues. But 35 percent of women said they are planning to gift chocolate to colleagues in Valentine's.

A working woman said, "Giri Chako tradition has been banned in my office. Earlier, we had to fall into our worries - how much would be the price of each chocolate, who would give it - these thoughts would give us sickness.
