Our correspondent said that all representatives of railway trade unions were at the discussion.
Meanwhile, the Railway's Main Control Room revealed that even though 10 train turns were planned, only two were operated today.
Nearly 250 train turns were cancelled due to the strike during the day.
Meanwhile, the Deputy Minister of Transport Ashok Abeysinghe said that railway employees who do not report to duty within the next 24 hours will be considered as vacated their posts.
He also requested the employees to return to work without inconveniencing the GCE (O/L) students.
The exam begins on Tuesday.
