Delhi Metro support staff threaten to go on strike over salary hike

On the warpath against the Delhi Metro management over a pay raise demand, its non-executive staff, including train operators, today threatened to launch a strike from next week.

The DMRC management has intervened to quell the agitation and even held a meeting of the staff council, which is spearheading the protests, at the Metro headquarters here, said a DMRC official who did not wish to be named.

A member of the staff council said the non-executive staff will gradually stop performing their duties from July 21 and completely cease operating from July 24, if their demands are not met.
