Maharashtra Security Force (MSF), deployed by the state government for the security of Mumbai Metro, has gone on strike on Tuesday. Carrying more than 3 lakh commuters daily, the Mumbai Metro One Private Limited (MMOPL) operating Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar Metro-1 corridor has sought help from the Mumbai Police as security staff of the Maharashtra Security Force (MSF) went on strike Tuesday. The security staff from MSF have gone on strike demanding they be made permanent government employees from the current contract employees. MMOPL has maintained that no services of the Metro-1 were affected due to the MSF security staff going on strike. Keeping in mind the convenience and security of commuters, Mumbai Metro One promptly deployed the alternative arrangements.
