Speaking to the Daily Mirror, Palitha said the decision was not taken arbitrarily but after formally notifying all relevant authorities in writing. He added that the letters clearly outlined the reasons behind the union's decision to withdraw from work regulations.

"All maintenance and breakdown work will only be carried out during the standard eight-hour working period. Beyond that, no maintenance or breakdown work will take place, regardless of urgency," he said.
