“We demand to hike our pay to Rs 15,000 to 18,000,” employees said. Due to the protest, lengthy queues were seen in front of the ticketing counters.

Meanwhile, metro officials said a few ticketing staff under a contracting agency have abstained from work with a purpose to disrupt train operations, causing passenger inconvenience.

“They are also spreading rumours and misinformation out of vested interest. Their claims are false and their actions are highly against the public interest, which will call for stern action by the HMR management. The management ensures due facilities and benefits are given to staff, however, will be discussing with them to learn more,” they added.

The officials further clarified that train operations are running on time and sufficient manpower is available.
