Sri Lanka's railway strike ended today as new threats on a private bus strike came out.
An official of Sri Lanka Railway Graded Employees' Union said that the strike was ended following agreements at a discussion between trade unions and the officials of the Ministry of Transport, Ministry of Finance and the Salaries and Cadre Commission.
The strike was originally planned to be held for 48 hours and accordingly it was to end midnight today.
Train services paralyzed due to strike are still to be normalized.
Meanwhile All Island Private Bus Owners Association Chairman Gemunu Wijerathna said that the private bus operators will launch a strike since midnight tomorrow in protest of not granting the 10% bus fare hike they demanded.
