A man was photographed getting into a packed train through the window during the train strike that is currently underway in Colombo.

Assisting him was a Police Officer who seemed to find the incident amusing.

The Railway Locomotive Engine Drivers Union launched an unannounced strike yesterday.

They are demanding a revision of existing recruitment policies.

Talks with the Transport Minister Nimal Siripala de Silva failed yesterday and the strike is ongoing, severely inconveniencing commuters.
