Islamabad:Thousands of people faced difficulties due to suspension of metro bus service (MBS) once again here on Friday. The Metro Bus Authority (MBA) employees have demanded payment of salaries otherwise they will not ply buses. The protesters also demanded to immediately suspend Operational Managers for cutting their salaries. The drivers of busses have claimed that concerned authority did not pay them salaries for over three months. Some protesters also threatened to commit suicide if authorities concerned did not pay them salaries.

Negotiations between management and MBA employees continued to call off the strike but protesters did not agree to ply bus
