Airports strike put off

NEW DELHI: Following a meeting with Union Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel, the Airports Authority Employees’ Union (AAEU) on Monday deferred its strike scheduled for Tuesday.

Mr. Patel along with senior officials of the Ministry and the Airports Authority of India met the representatives of AAEU at Rajiv Gandhi Bhawan, where the latter raised their demands. As of now, the strike has been deferred and the second round of talks will take place on March 10.

“A number of issues, including the closure of Bangalore and Hyderabad airports raised by the union representatives, were discussed. It has been decided that the Ministry will look into these matters in detail and another round of discussion will be held with the union representatives in the near future,” said an official release.
