Mumbai: The employees of the grounded Kingfisher Airlines, who were on a hunger strike, called it off this evening though airline chairman Vijay Mallya reportedly expressed inability to pay salary arrears.
The agitation was called of after the second round of meeting between the employees and airline CEO Sanjay Agarwal, sources said.
Earlier in the day, Mallya reportedly told the agitating employees, who were on a hunger strike since yesterday, that he did not have money to pay them.
"I don't have the money to pay your salary dues, because I cannot use the proceeds from the United Spirits-Diageo deal for this because of injunction from the Karnataka High Court," Mallya reportedly told the striking employees.
