In a bid to end the stalemate, Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh today met striking Air India pilots for the first time and told them that there would be no victimisation if they resumed duty immediately and that their grievances would be considered. For the first time in 18 days since the strike began, five pilots of the Indian Pilots' Guild (IPG), spearheading the stir, called on Singh at the Ministry's headquarters here and held a 90-minute-long meeting with him. Air India CMD Rohit Nandan was asked to join the meeting at the far end.
