The Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) has terminated the sale of 60 per cent of its stake in four hotels.

This follows agitations and pressure by the Organised Labour to embark on a nationwide industrial strike on Monday, July 15 following approval by the National Pensions and Regulatory Authority (NPRA) for SSNIT to proceed with selling 60% shares in the four hotels.
