After holding the city to ransom for two days, railway motormen called off their indefinite strike following talks with the state government today.
The decision to bring Mumbai's lifeline on track came shortly after Maharashtra government, edged on by parties like MNS, Congress and Shiv Sena to end the stir, mulled invoking provisions of Essential Services Maintenance Act (ESMA).
The motormen decided to call off their agitation after the state government gave an assurance to them that it would mediate between the strikers and the Railway ministry, Home Minister R R Patil after the meeting with representatives of the motormen.
"The government took the lead to resolve the crisis as normal life was thrown out of gear due to the strike and people had to suffer lots of hardships," Patil said.
