Colombo (LNW): The government has reportedly resolved to firmly enforce the guidelines outlined in the gazette notification, declaring public transport, inlcuding the railway service, as a vital service.
This particular notification was released on September 12th by the President’s Secretary, Saman Ekanayake, and has a validity of one month.
As per the gazette’s terms, the government has made it clear that railway workers who abstain from duty, whether through strikes or other means, will be considered as having vacated their positions.
