New Delhi: Neelmani Singh, 27, a Delhi-based employee of Kingfisher Airlines (KFA), is worried about how he will pay her younger sister's MCA course fees. The grounded airline has not paid salaries for almost two years now.
In Kolkata, Sujit Kumar Ghosh, 53, is scared of stepping out of home and getting confronted by his unpaid grocer, milkman and other daily needs suppliers. At home, an ailing wife needs immediate hospitalization but the former KFA ground support technician is finding it difficult to meet the medical expenses.
"Whatever could be sold, I've sold," he laments. For exactly an year now, employees of the airline promoted by the flamboyant Vijay Mallya have hardly heard anything about their dues.
The airline, grounded since October 2012, paid salaries for July 2012 in April 2013, just before the last edition of the IPL to prevent employees from protesting at a stadium where Mallya's team, Royal Challengers Bangalore, was playing.
