Cab strike at airport

MUMBAI: Thousands of air passengers had a harrowing time on Monday when the 1,700 cabs at Sahar international airport went on a flash strike. 

The cabbies were protesting against Mumbai International Airport Ltd for asking them to move to a new parking lot near Sahar police station.

Meanwhile, the proposed strike by Airports Authority of India employees against the government move to close down the old airports at Bangalore and Hyderabad has been deferred after an assurance from civil aviation minister Praful Patel that some “positive” decisions would be taken by March 10.
