Surat: Activists crusading for increased air connectivity will gather at the main gate of Surat airport to participate in a one-day hunger strike to demand international airport in the city on October 1.
Surat Airport Action Committee (SAAC) has threatened to launch an indefinite hunger strike if it fails to achieve the desired results after October 1.
A letter in this connection was sent to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union civil aviation minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju demanding international operations from Surat airport before assembly elections are announced.
