Mallya Wakes up to Worries Each Day

Bangalore: With the death of an employee’s wife, who committed suicide last day citing financial stress, Mallya’s business empire is paying for all its extravagance it once enjoyed. The airline business has brought him down and the current heated debates have left the man powerless.

Adding to its woes, the employees are staging countrywide protests after KFA CEO Sanjay Agarwal cancelled a meeting with them in Bangalore and Chennai. On October 4, banks had agreed to release 60 crore to the airlines, with which the airline is expected to pay its employees. It was keeping this in mind that the meeting was cancelled by Agarwal.

The employees are planning for a march from Mumbai airport to Kingfisher House and a candlelight vigil to protest against the death of a technician's wife in Delhi. One of the organizers of the march said, "We have taken out this to condole the untimely death our colleague's wife, who committed suicide due to financial stress. We strongly condemn the agony airline management has given to us by not paying salaries for past seven months. We pray for the peace of the departed soul and vow to continue our agitation. "

Adding to the losses, the KFA secretary, Bharath Raghavan has bid bye to the company last day.
