AI171 plane crash: PM Modi likely to visit crash site today, meet injured people
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to visit the Ahmedabad Civil Hospital on Friday evening to meet the sole survivor and the people injured in the tragic AI171 flight crash, even as a comprehensive investigation into one of the worst civil aviation disasters intensifies. The PM is also expected to visit the site of the crash, officials said. 'Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit the crash site and meet the injured and the families of the victims around 8.30 pm,' a senior Gujarat government official said, adding that a team from Boeing is expected to arrive soon to provide detailed insights into the potential causes of the crash, which marks the first fatal incident involving a Boeing 787 Dreamliner since its commercial debut in 2011. The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, carrying 232 passengers and 10 crew members, crashed into a residential area in Meghani Nagar, Ahmedabad, on Thursday shortly after take-off from the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport. The aircraft, en route to London's Gatwick airport, issued a 'Mayday' call before losing contact with Air Traffic Control (ATC), reaching only 625 feet before plummeting into a medical college hostel, igniting a massive fire ball. The crash claimed the lives of 241 people on board and at least three medical students on ground. The sole survivor, a British national of Indian origin seated near an emergency exit, is currently at the civil hospital where 45 others, including undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) medical students, are receiving treatment. Authorities have confirmed that four medical students and the wife of a doctor were also killed in the mishap. Prime Minister Modi is expected to assess the situation, meet officials and review preliminary findings from the ongoing investigation, which is being led by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB). Preliminary reports indicate that the aircraft may have experienced a malfunction in a wing flap as the landing gear was seen to be in a downward position during ascent, which is unusual for that phase of the flight, an Airports Authority of India official said. Investigators are also considering possibilities like overloading or a bird strike, though clear weather conditions rule out environmental factors, he added. The aircraft's flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder, commonly referred to as the 'black box', are being analysed. A high-level committee has been established to ensure a thorough and transparent probe, adhering to international aviation safety protocols. Rajeshbhai Patni, a 47-year-old auto-rickshaw driver, was dropping off passengers near the hostel when the flight crashed. He witnessed the devastating moment firsthand as the aircraft collided with the building. 'I saw the plane exploding when it hit the roof. I saw red and black flames emerging from the building. I left my autorickshaw and ran for my life,' recounted Patni, who sustained injuries on his chest and leg. Sandeep Datani, who runs a coconut stall approximately 2km from the crash site, rushed to the scene after spotting smoke. 'I saw smoke rising and rushed to see what happened. There was another blast and that's when I started running,' said Datani, who escaped unhurt.

Modi-Carney meet chance to find ways to reset ties: Government
Modi-Carney meet chance to find ways to reset ties: Government NEW DELHI: Ahead of PM Narendra Modi's visit to Canada, Indian government said Thursday that PM's meeting with his Canadian counterpart Mark Carney will offer an important opportunity to explore pathways to reset the relationship based on "mutual respect, shared interests, and sensitivity to each other's concerns". Modi will be in Canada next week after almost a decade, following Carney's eleventh hour invitation to him to attend the G7 Summit Canada is hosting at Kananaskis. The leaders will have a bilateral meeting on the sidelines. "We believe that the forthcoming meeting between the two on the sidelines of the G7 Summit will offer an important opportunity to exchange views on bilateral and global issues, and to explore pathways to reset the relationship based on mutual respect, shared interests, and sensitivity to each other's concerns," said MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal. Bilateral ties were wrecked by Carney's predecessor Justin Trudeau's public allegations of Indian government's role in the killing of Khalistan separatist and Canadian national Hardeep Singh Nijjar. As Carney and Modi look to rebuild the relationship, the former is expected to seek accountability for the murder of Nijjar and Indian PM a crack down on anti-India activities by separatist groups and extradition of wanted terrorists. "There are existing mechanisms between Indian and Canadian law enforcement agencies that have discussed issues of mutual security concern over a period of time. This engagement is likely to continue," said Jaiswal. According to the official, in their phone conversation last week the leaders had an opportunity to reflect on the India-Canada relationship and the way forward. "India and Canada are vibrant democracies bound by shared democratic values, a steadfast commitment to the rule of law, and vibrant people-to-people ties," he said.
