A special executive committee meeting of the GMOA meets today to take a final decision on strike, which was postponed by a week at the request of His Eminence the Archbishop.

Further, GMOA media spokesman Dr. Samantha Ananda said, that if a final decision could not be reached today, a meeting would be held again next Thursday and a final decision taken.
