Thiruvananthapuram: Protesting Air India's cancellation of 168 services to Gulf countries, CPI(M) will hold a people's march to airports in Kerala on September 28.
The party's state secretariat said in a release here today that the services were cancelled without any prior information causing untold difficulties and sufferings to Keralite passengers bound for Gulf regions.
As per the present indication, the cancellations would continue till December, it said.
The statement said even though there were half a dozen Union ministers from the state, they had "failed" to provide relief to Keralites working in Gulf regions.
