AAI staff on hunger strike over privatisation of 6 airports
Airports Authority of India (AAI) employees are on a three-day relay hunger strike from Monday to protest against government's move to privatise six airports. Last month, the government had cleared a proposal to privatise AAI airports in Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Lucknow, Guwahati, Thiruvananthapuram and Mangaluru. The employees' union also warned that staff would go on mass casual leave from December 28.
