A four-member ministerial committee headed by Minister Sarath Amunugama has been appointed by President Maithripala Sirisena to look into the grievances of the protesting railway employees, President's Media Unit said.
It said the other members of the committee are Ministers Rajitha Senaratne, Akila Viraj Kariyawasam and Ranjith Maduma Bandara.
The railway strike launched by several trade unions continues for the 6th day today.(DS)

A sign of absolute weakness. If the president does not fire the strikers now, he has to resign. The people need no sayings but deeds. If someone draws a weapon, he must be ready to fire.

I think this committee will also give the same type of obvious comments as was given during the petroleum strike...

"ministerial committee..." what they know about railways? people are suffering even trains are working, never reach to destination right on time, poor maintenance, lack of facilities. Those so called ministers never want to solve real problems in our railyway system.

This shows the weakness of the Govt, they cannot solve just a strike.They should resign immediately.

Oh, i thought the GMOA was going to sort out this problem.. They are experts on Strike Management, so get them on board and ask the entire cabinet of ministers to go on leave and enjoy the holiday season.

First of all appoint a committee to find out the evil force involved behind all these trade union activities to cripple the public life.
