Minister for General Education and Labour V. Sivankutty has written to Union Minister for Civil Aviation Jyotiraditya M. Scindia seeking his intervention in securing compensation for a widow from the Air India Express (AIE).
In a letter to Mr. Scindia, Mr. Sivankutty drew his attention to Amrita, a nursing student living at Karamana in the State capital, who had booked a seat on an AIE flight to Oman on May 8 to visit and bring back her husband Rajesh who was in a critical condition at a hospital in that country.
When Amrita reached the airport to travel to Oman, she found that the flight was cancelled owing to a flash strike by the cabin crew of the airline. She requested the authorities for an alternative arrangement but all her efforts were futile.
