DHAKA: Workers on London's Underground train system kicked off a 48-hour strike at 9:00pm (on Tuesday, threatening chaos for commuters on Wednesday and Thursday.

The Central line, which runs east-west through the heart of the British capital, is expected to be particularly affected.
Neither buses nor Thames boat services will be affected by the strike, reports The Straits Times.
