Railway ticket counters are seen in Colombo, Sri Lanka, on May 17, 2025. The strike is in protest over unresolved service-related issues, particularly delays in five-year grade promotions and the lack of new recruitments within the Railway Department. All night mail trains and most long-distance train services are cancelled as a result of the strike. The Sri Lanka Railway Station Masters' Union launches a one-day token strike starting at midnight on May 16, 2025.
