Upping the ante after their agitation entered the 47th day, Air India pilots on Saturday decided to start indefinite hunger-strike from today to highlight their demands relating to career progression and other issues. 8 pilots will sit on fast for at least 48 hours at the Jantar Mantar, a similar agitation will be started in Mumbai from Monday at the Azad Maidan. The Indian Pilots' Guild (IPG), which has been de-recognised by the airline management for leading the ongoing agitation, said a batch of ten of its members would begin the hunger-strike "to protest against discrimination and exploitation by the Air India Management".
