In Maldives, a group of port workers went on strike on September 29 urging their government to hold the presidential election even as the foreign ministry pulled up India's high commissioner for getting in touch with the poll panel in Male.
Following the Maldives Supreme Court's decision to postpone the second round of the presidential election, the Maldives Ports Workers Union (MPWU) went on strike.
There is not much work, but next week we have a charter boat with more than 300 containers. If we are not given an election date, we will stop any future operations. We are just giving that message.
