Press Trust of India New Delhi
Employees of Kingfisher Airlines, grounded since last October, have renewed a demand for salary dues and served a hunger strike notice, even after Chairman Vijay Mallya recently assured that efforts to revive the airline were underway. They received their last salary this April for July 2012, sources said, adding a section of the employees in Mumbai had already started an agitation. As of March, the carrier had 2,851 employees.

The employees have served the mandatory two-week notice to the management; it expires on Thursday. Sources said a group of Mumbai employees had meetings with the management but got no assurance. They added the employees would wait till Monday, when a winding-up petition against the company is to come for a hearing. If the company does not pay at least a month’s salary, they will go on an indefinite hunger strike.
