Around 100 staff members of the ailing Jet Airways Monday staged a demonstration here, urging the Government to intervene and bail out the airline.
Jet Airways had on April 17 announced temporary suspension of operations after it failed to receive emergency funds from lenders, leaving about 23,000 employees to face a bleak future.
This evening, the employees, dressed in their uniforms, staged the demonstration at Town Hall in the heart of the city.
Holding aloft placards, they raised slogans like ‘Save our families, save Jet Airways’, ‘Don’t make us cry, give a chance to fly’ and ‘Humko Tum Na Dhoka Do, Udne ka ek Mauka Do’ (Don’t ditch us, give a chance to fly).
