The gatekeepers of unprotected railway crossings across the country have threatened to go on a strike over wage issues from 30 October.
Railway Crossings Association President J.A.C. Premalal said that more than 2000 employees will engage in the strike. He added that the decision was taken as the authorities have failed to grant a proposed Rs.5000 wage hike.
The gatekeepers have also staged strikes on two previous occasions seeking solutions for their issue.
