Here is yet another story of pain and suffering from the Kingfisher Airlines Union camp. This one is from Ahmedabad where an Airport Manager suffering from Thyriod Cancer is running from pillar to post for help pleading the management to show mercy at this critical hour.

The letter written by the employee in his time of distress to his colleagues shows the gravity of human sufferings that the once famed KFA employees are today undergoing. Headlines Today has obtained the letter and the photograph of the employee along with the Facebook account details through KFA Union.

We are hiding the name and face of this employee as has been requested by the KFA union. But read the content of the letter to get a sense of suffering.

I am an employee of KFA staff, joined KFA on 20th Jul 2008 as Airport Manager. Currently I am based in Ahmedabad and have been fighting alone with management of KFA. I have been suffering from Thyroid Cancer since Oct 2013 and since then I have been writing to KFA management to clear my dues but no one have bothered to revert to my mails till date.

Last email I have written to Dr. Mallya but no revert from his side as well. When I contacted Dr. Mallya's secretary Ms. Tushita Patel she told me that my matter has been informed to the top management but as everybody is very busy in court cases no one have time to revert to my mails and once court cases are over they will revert to my mails.

The letter then states how this employee managed to get through his operation but had to borrow large amount of money from friends and relatives all of whom are now building pressure on him to repay the amount. This employee is now asking for help from his union even stating that he feel that the Indian system won't pressure Mallya enough for the employees.

I am the sole bread earner in my family and have 5 years old daughter , wife is home maker and 65 years old widow mother. Please advice me what should I do so that I get my dues back from company as I don't think Indian Law is powerful enough to do something against Dr. Mallya. I have decided to go out and out against Dr. Mallya and management of KFA because they have ruined my and my family's life.



The management seemingly oblivious to the plight of its staff refused to answer questions posed by Headlines Today. Headlines Today tried contacting this employee but he was reluctant to answer asserting he would talk through his union.

Ever since the Kingfisher crisis broke out, Headlines Today has been relentlessly covering every aspect of the crisis. Right from the management issues to Dr. Vijay Mallya's business adventures to employees agitation and their plight. We picked them first and got you the correct picture on our channel. We continue getting the reports from ground zero of the sufferings of the employees who have exhausted their savings and are pleading the management for help.

Anjan Kumar Deveshawar, a senior engineer with KFA recounts how difficult things have become for him and his fellow colleagues who were once part of the most glamorous airline in the country. He says that the management has almost turned a deaf ear to all the employees. "Mallya is not even fit to be called a human being. Rather than trying to please Lord Balaji with offerings he should look at the plight of his own staff and give them their rightful dues. The Lord would be happy with that."

Agitated and saddened Anjan further says that "the airline business is technical to the core and needs a great amount of sincerity. Mallya gifted the airline to his son Siddharth a young lad who could never associate himself with the airline. The senior officials who would never be serious to their job and at the same time would never leave the chair for a better person. All of this coupled with Mallya's other business interest made for a recipe of ruin and disaster."

Headlines Today met with the other employees as well and all of them maintain that they would continue their fight with the management till they get their rightful dues.
