Colombo, June 10 (Daily Mirror) - The Sri Lanka Railways Locomotive Operating Engineers’ Union decided to call off their ongoing strike following discussion with the Transport Minister.

The union said the trains in the evening will not run as usual, but the services will return to normal by tomorrow morning.

Only a few trains will be cancelled this evening, and the locomotive engineers and the General Manager, Railways are aware of this.

The Locomotive Operating Engineers Union launched their strike on Friday due to delays in the second-class promotions of locomotive drivers, continuous delays in recruitments due to the lack of a salary code, and other issues.

Railway should be privatised. It is shame that a government giving in to these unfair demands.

Please PRIVATISE the Railway Department. Train is the main mode of transport which neither RW nor MR would understand as they travel on luxury vehicles.

The millions of dollars wasting on Sri Lankan airline should be invested to improve the public transport which benefit the nation and also will affect economy significantly. Privatization is not the solution.
