TGSRTC management said it remains open to resolving all issues through dialogue and asked staff to protect the reputation of the organisation while ensuring passengers do not suffer inconvenience.
Employees and union leaders were specifically urged not to trust unofficial calls or messages appearing in newspapers or on social media.
