The Locomotive Operating Engineers Union (LOEU) announced that all Railway Department employees will go on strike from midnight today (6). 

Secretary of the LOEU Indika Dodamgoda stated that the strike action was organized as the government is yet to comply with several demands made by the Railway Department. 

All travelers have been advised to find alternate means of transportation.
