By: Isuru Parakrama

Colombo (LNW): The Sri Lanka Railway Station Masters’ Union said the 24-hour token strike initiated by the union was called off last (10) night.

The strike action was commenced on May 09 midnight over the government’s move of offering to appoint a Deputy General Manager (Commercial) who has a corruption record behind him, the union pointed out.

During the period of the token strike, over 40 trains, including long-distance and office trains were cancelled, and most of the ticket counters were closed.
