DNA of 11 Air India plane crash victims matched with family members so far

The DNA of 11 victims from the devastating Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad has been matched with their family members, a senior official from B J Medical College confirmed on Saturday. Authorities are relying heavily on DNA testing to identify victims, as many of the bodies were severely burnt or damaged in Thursday's catastrophic crash. The painstaking process is being conducted with care due to its significant legal and medical ramifications, Dr. Rajnish Patel, professor of surgery at B J Medical College told PTI. 'We cannot afford to rush this. Each case needs to be verified meticulously,' Dr. Patel said during a media briefing. At a joint press conference, Gujarat Revenue Secretary Alok Pandey said the deceased hailed from 18 of Gujarat's 33 districts, as well as from other parts of India. Families of 11 foreign nationals who lost their lives in the crash have also been contacted, he added. To help families cope with the overwhelming grief, trained counsellors will be made available to support them through the trauma, Pandey said. Earlier, officials confirmed that eight victims whose bodies were recognizable and didn't require DNA testing had already been handed over to their families. The central government has formed a high-level, multi-disciplinary committee led by the Union Home Secretary to investigate the cause of the crash. The tragedy struck just moments after flight AI171 took off from the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport. The aircraft crashed within the grounds of the B J Medical College campus in Meghaninagar, bursting into flames.

Army's Western Command holds mega blood donation drive on World Blood Donor Day

Four major blood donation camps were set up by Military Hospitals in Chandigarh, Ferozepur, Pathankot, and Jalandhar, an official statement said. The initiative was a remarkable demonstration of compassion, solidarity, and national service. It reaffirmed the Command's enduring commitment to the cause of saving lives, they said. Chandigarh, Jun 14 (PTI) The Western Command of the Army observed World Blood Donor Day on Saturday by organising a mega blood donation drive across its area of responsibility, officials said. The drive witnessed overwhelming participation from serving personnel, families, veterans, and civilians, including volunteers from partner organisations such as Rotary International and the Indian Red Cross Society. To enhance preparedness and strengthen civil-military medical cooperation, Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) were signed with several regional medical institutions. During Operation Sindoor, a clarion call for blood saw a massive response from serving troops, veterans, and civilians, the statement said. In another standout event, 513 Army personnel donated blood in a single day — marking one of the highest turnouts in recent history. Collectively, over 2,500 volunteers across Western Command donated blood last year alone, it said. PTI SUN RHL This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.

DNA of 11 plane crash victims matched with family members so far: official

Dr Rajnish Patel, professor of surgery at the B J Medical College, told media persons that the process of matching DNA has to be done meticulously. As many of the bodies are burnt beyond recognition or damaged otherwise, authorities are carrying out DNA tests to establish the identity of the victims of Thursday's horrific tragedy. Ahmedabad, Jun 14 (PTI) The DNA of 11 victims of the Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad has been matched with their family members so far, a senior government doctor at the B J Medical College here said on Saturday. It has legal and medical implications, so one can not rush through it, he said. Vishwashkumar Ramesh, the sole survivor among the 242 passengers and crew who were on board the London-bound Air India flight, was stable and out of danger, Dr Patel added. Alok Pandey, Gujarat Revenue Secretary, said at the press conference that the victims hailed from 18 out of 33 districts of Gujarat, besides other states of the country. The families of 11 foreign nationals who died in the crash have been contacted, he said. `Grief counsellors' will be provided to the families of the victims to help them deal with the mental trauma, Pandey said. The bodies of eight victims, who were identified by their relatives and did not need DNA profiling, have already been handed over to their families by the hospital, officials said earlier. The death toll in the plane crash rose to 270 on Saturday. The Centre set up a high-level multi-disciplinary panel headed by the Union home secretary to examine the causes that led to the disaster. All but one of the 242 passengers and crew on board AI171 and another 29 persons including five MBBS students on the ground were killed when the aircraft came down moments after taking off from the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport before falling inside the nearby campus of the state-run BJ Medical College in Meghaninagar area and going up in flames.
