Shutdown in Malabar on Oct 27 to highlight passengers' plight

Kozhikode: The Indian Union Muslim League in Kerala on Wednesday gave a call for a shutdown in the Malabar region on October 27 to draw the authorities attention to the various problems faced by the passengers at the Karipur international airport here.
"The dawn-to-dusk hartal will be observed in the districts of Kasaragod, Kannur, Kozhikode, Wayanad, Malappuram and Palakkad," league state general secretary P K Kunhalikutty told reporters.
Stating that Gulf-bound passengers, in particular, were put to hardship due to frequent cancellation and rescheduling of flights, he said many of them had even ended up losing their jobs on account of it.
The League wanted the authorities concerned to attend to the grievances immediately and treat the airport on par with other international airports, Kunhalikutty said.
