Union representatives stated that the strike, aimed at addressing ongoing grievances, will be paused to allow railway services to operate smoothly during this important festive period. "We understand the significance of Deepavali for many passengers and the need for uninterrupted travel during the celebrations," said a union spokesperson.
While the strike is on hold, the union emphasized that discussions regarding their demands will continue post-festival. Passengers are encouraged to take advantage of the restored services and travel plans should resume as usual.
The Railway Station Masters Union thanked the public for their support and understanding during this time.
