University non-academic staff called off their strike last night after signing an agreement with the University Grants Commission (UGC) and Labour Commissioner.

Media spokesman of the Inter University Trade Union Joint Committee Wijayathilaka Jayasinghe told The Island that the UGC had promised to rectify their salary anomalies within 45 days and issue a circular to that effect.

Non-academic staff launched the strike on June 06.
