The 4- day long strike by unions of State Transport Corporations' (STC) employees has been called off.
The decision was taken at a meeting between Transport Minister V. Senthil Balaji and leaders of the unions at Secretariat on Wednesday. The meeting lasted nearly 45 minutes.

The unions' leaders said their demand for the withdrawal of cases against some employees had also been conceded while a government official said the demand would be considered.
Twelve unions took part in the meeting and Labour Progressive Federation (LPF), CITU and the Anna Thozhirsanga Peravai (ATP) were among them.
