About 900 employees of the state-run Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (BMRCL) on Tuesday agreed to defer their proposed strike on Thursday by a month on their demands. "We have agreed to defer the strike to mid-April to enable the management consider our demands, including recognition to our union and service issues," metro union leader Suryanarayana Murthy told reporters here. The unrecognised union of the metro employees gave an undertaking on deferring the strike after the company assured the Karnataka High Court of its willingness to hold talks with them on their demands.
