Crisis in K'fisher likely to prolong

October 23, 2012 20:24

The crisis in Kingfisher Airlines following a 23-day lockout is likely to prolong with a large section of employees today sticking to its refusal of the management's offer on payment of salary dues even as its owner Vijay Mallya said he was not an "absconder".

Under fire over the crisis and with agitated employees asking where he is, Mallya broke his silence, slamming sections of the media for calling him an "absconder". "I travel 24x7 where my multiple work responsibilities take me. Sections of media call me an absconder because I don't talk to them," Mallya said in a tweet.
