The Airports Authority of India Employees’ Union (AAIEU) have called for a nationwide strike on March 31 in protest against the privatisation of six airports and their takeover by Adani Enterprises Ltd. The union has demanded an investigation into the process leading to the leasing out of the airports in Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Guwahati, Lucknow, Thiruvananthpuram and Mangalore for operations, management and development to the private company. Last week, the AAIEU wrote to the Chairman of the AAI warning of a strike and drawing his attention to concerns among employees of the authority over the uncertain future staring them following the privatisation of the airports.
The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
