Bangalore: The Ministry of Corporate Affairs is planning to question Vijay Mallya over nonpayment of wages to the staff of Kingfisher Airlines Ltd. Sachin Pilot, the minister for corporate affairs in the country has instructed the department to write in to Chairman Mallya asking for details on the issue and steps taken to remedy the situation, according to two people familiar with the matter.
Employees of Kingfisher Airlines have not been paid for 17 months now and a section in New Delhi have begun an indefinite hunger strike at Jantar Mantar to protest the lack of wages. The Ministry is said to be considering the issue after disgruntled employees met Pilot, asking for his intervention in facilitating the receipt of dues to them from their company.
Employees of the company have approached many political parties, most recently the Aam Aadmi Party and had on Monday approached the office of Pilot, head of the ministry of corporate affairs. The Ministry has not responded to queries seeking comment.
