Meanwhile, the continuous strike launched by the Joint Committee of Executive grade Officers of the Government continues for the second day today (26 September).
Secretary of the Union, H.A.L Udayasiri stated that the strike action is being carried out in protest against the government’s failure to rectify the salary anomalies created by the public sector through the increment of salaries in the legal sector.
