    This is totally an un-wanted strike at a crucial stage. Power set engine drivers, please don't play games, re-collect the old memories what has happened in the past while you guys went on strike. Be , careful, you guys should know - enough and enough of Freedom fighters (Army) is ready to operate the trains now.
