The operation of the Manakamana cable car resumed after nearly a month, Friday, following an agreement by the agitating security guards to end their strike.

The guards of Garud Securities agreed to end their strike after an understanding was reached at the initiative of the Ministry of Labour and Transport Management and Manakamana Darshan Private Limited.

According to a release issued by Federation of Nepalese Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI), the guards agreed that their demands including rise in salaries would be met by their supplying agency Garud Security Services.

Earlier, they had demanded that Manakamana Darshan Pvt Limited increase their pay scales and facilities.

“The dispute was ended based on the principle that any organisation can recruit people from outside suppliers through outsourcing and that the benefits and salaries of such people would be the responsibility of the supplying agency,” the release adds. nepalnews.com sd Dec 05 08
