Demand for Local Workers at Navi Mumbai Airport Sparks MNS Threat

In a bold stance, the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) has warned of drastic measures if Marathi-speaking locals are not prioritized for jobs at the Navi Mumbai International Airport.

MNS claims a Right to Information (RTI) request shows a lack of job reservation policies by the City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO), potentially sidelining local candidates amidst ongoing recruitment for the airport's first terminal.

Issuing a threat to disrupt airport operations, MNS spokesperson Gajanan Kale emphasized unresolved issues regarding job allocations and alleged past transgressions against Marathi youths. The MNS plans a significant march if demands are ignored, potentially escalating tensions.
