The agitating employees have informed that the interrupted service will now operate regularly as the demand has been addressed.
Earlier, the employees had said that the financial burden had increased due to the suspension of expensive allowances for a long time, and they were forced to strike after the problem was not resolved despite repeatedly drawing the attention of the relevant authorities.
