On the warpath against the Delhi Metro management over a pay raise demand, its non-executive staff, including train operators, on Thursday threatened to launch a strike from next week.

The DMRC management has intervened to quell the agitation and even held a meeting of the staff council, which is spearheading the protests, at the Metro headquarters here, said a DMRC official on condition of anonymity.

‘Personal agenda’

A member of the staff council said the non-executive staff will gradually stop performing their duties from July 21 and completely cease operating from July 24, if their demands are not met. The DMRC management, in an internal communication, said the issues raised by the agitating staff were an attempt to “push personal agenda”.
