Families of Air India crash victims allege compensation coercion, airline denies
Victims' families have claimed they were coerced by Air India into signing documents detailing their financial dependency on the deceased, seemingly to reduce compensation amounts read more Debris of an Air India plane that crashed moments after taking off from the Ahmedabad airport. Pic/PTI Weeks after the Air India Flight 171 crash in Ahmedabad claimed 241 lives, the families of the victims have accused the airline of pressuring them during the initial compensation process. They allege Air India threatened 'no compensation' if they did not complete a company-provided questionnaire. Families also claim they were coerced into signing documents detailing their financial dependency on the deceased, seemingly to reduce compensation amounts. In response, Air India has dismissed these allegations as 'unsubstantiated and inaccurate.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The crash occurred shortly after the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner took off from Ahmedabad en route to London, killing all but one of the 242 passengers and crew members on board. UK-based law firm levels serious allegations Stewarts, a UK-based law firm, has been retained by families of over 40 passengers from the UK and India. Partnering with Ahmedabad-based firm Nanavati and Nanavati, Stewarts is assisting Indian families in pursuing claims against Air India, Boeing, and other potentially liable parties, according to an official. In a statement, Stewarts reported that Air India required families to complete a questionnaire to receive an advance payment, forcing them to fill it out in intense heat without guidance on its legal terms and questions. The firm further stated that Air India has been pressuring families to complete the questionnaire, threatening to withhold compensation if they fail to comply. The questionnaire, reportedly necessary for an advance payment, includes legal terminology that the airline allegedly failed to explain, raising concerns that it could be used to minimise future compensation. 'Our clients have shown us the questionnaire. It demands legally significant information using terms with a legal definition which is not being told to families. The information being asked could be used against families by Air India in the future, even though few families will understand how the questions should be interpreted or the test that should be applied for each of the terms used," the firm said. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The firm said that they have advised their clients (victim families) not to complete the form, as the company will seek payment for them. 'We are shocked and appalled that Air India is pressurising families for this information when they are at their most vulnerable," the statement said. Air India responds Air India, in its defence, has said it sought only 'basic information' from the families to establish relationships so that compensation is issued to those who are entitled. The airline explained that the question about financial dependency on the deceased was included as a 'fair and necessary' measure to prioritise and process payments for those most in need of assistance. Air India categorically rejects these allegations and refutes them as both unsubstantiated and inaccurate. Air India has been making considerable efforts to process payment of interim compensation (also referred to as advance compensation) as soon as possible, in order to meet the immediate financial needs of affected family members, with the first payments having been made within days of the accident. However, Air India cannot process these payments in an information vacuum. In order to facilitate payments, Air India has sought basic information to establish family relationships to ensure that the advance payments are received by those entitled to them. Whilst the questionnaire does ask family members to indicate with a 'yes" or 'no" as to whether they are 'financially dependent" on the deceased, Air India believes this is an entirely fair and necessary question in order for us to process payments to those most in need of assistance," the Air India statement said. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD It said that the families can respond to the questionnaire during their physical presence at the centre established in Ahmedabad or by email. 'Starting 15 June, Air India established a Facilitation Centre at the Taj Skyline hotel in Ahmedabad, where the questionnaire relating to interim compensation is available. In addition, families were sent communications informing them that the questionnaire is also available over e-mail, in the event families do not wish to make a visit to the Centre. Air India staff are present at the Centre to explain the elements of the questionnaire to family members. There is no requirement for family members to complete the questionnaire at the Centre, and several families have chosen to complete the questionnaire at their convenience and submit it over e-mail. Those families who chose to complete the questionnaire at the Centre were provided with copies of their submissions at their request. In addition to being able to ask questions of the Air India staff at the Centre, families are, of course, free to seek legal advice should they wish to do so," the statement said.

In a regulatory filing on Thursday, NBCC informed that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with NFDC for the 'comprehensive renovation and redevelopment of Siri Fort Auditorium Complex'. Siri Fort Auditorium, located in South Delhi, was constructed in 1982 during the Asian Games. It currently has four auditoriums with a combined seating of over 2,600. In the past four decades, the auditorium complex has hosted global film festivals, musical events and public events. New Delhi, Jul 3 (PTI) State-owned NBCC Ltd has signed an initial pact with National Film Development Corporation (NFDC) to renovate and redevelop the iconic 5.5-acre Siri Fort Auditorium complex in the national capital into a world-class cultural destination. NBCC will be the Project Management Consultant (PMC) for redevelopment of Siri Fort Auditorium complex. The NFDC will bear the project cost along with PMC charges. The estimated cost to redevelop this auditorium has not been disclosed. A senior NBCC official said that the new complex will be constructed in a time period of two years after getting all the approvals from the NFDC, which is under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. Under the proposed design, Siri Fort complex's built-up area will expand to more than 20,000 square metres, with a maximum permissible building height of 26 metres. It will conform to global green building benchmarks such as LEED, IGBC, and GRIHA and also comply with all regulatory codes, heritage guidelines. A Joint Empowered Committee, which will be chaired by a designated NFDC officer, will monitor the execution of the project. NBCC has redeveloped many projects in Delhi, including Pragati Maidan. Elaborating on the redevelopment project, NBCC said, 'The initiative aims to transform Siri Fort into a world-class, accessible cultural destination and a vibrant hub for India's creative ecosystem'. Stating that the new complex has been envisioned as a 'vibrant cultural district', NBCC said the 'Performance and Theatre District' will serve as the venue's cultural heartbeat, and will host large-scale productions, concerts and festivals. The 'Indian Film & Media Hub' will celebrate cinema through screenings, exhibitions and archival storytelling. A 'Convention and Dialogue Forum' will be the stage for policy summits, seminars, and intellectual exchange, while the 'Arts and Culture Zone' will offer spaces for visual arts, sculpture, and installations. The new complex will also house 'Culinary Plaza' showcasing India's regional cuisines as well as 'Cultural Bazaar and Retail Zone'. 'The revamped Siri Fort complex would feature intelligent lighting systems, kinetic stage architecture, immersive audio-visual setups, high-speed digital connectivity, and universal accessibility, ensuring it competes with the world's top cultural destinations,' NBCC said. The state-owned firm is into PMC and real estate business. PTI MJH MJH MR This report is auto-generated from PTI news service. ThePrint holds no responsibility for its content.
