The strike, however, was called off later in the evening.

The striking staffers were a part of the 1000 security staff hired on contractual basis for all three shifts.

“The strike had nothing to do with the institute. It was a result of a misunderstanding with their company,” a senior administrative official said, adding, “The matter was sorted out and they gave us in writing that they would resume work.”
