Sanitation workers protest termination at Patna airport
Patna: Hundreds of sanitation workers protested on the Patna's Jayaprakash Narayan International Airport premises on Saturday following their termination by a new contractor. A private company, which recently took over the contract, dismissed workers above 45 years of age without prior notice, just days after the inauguration of the airport's new terminal on May 29. They were engaged in the sanitation work at the airport and the terminal building. "The company's decision contradicts govt retirement norms, which set the age limit at 58 years. The Patna Airport Contract Workers Union (CITU) has strongly protested this arbitrary decision. Despite it being Eid al-Adha, numerous displaced workers gathered at the airport hoping to resume work but were denied entry," said CITU President Rajkumar Jha. The union has threatened to launch a movement if the issue isn't resolved after meeting with the airport director on Monday.
