It has also urged the state govt and relevant authorities to arrange smooth transfer of the remains to the victims' respective homes.
COCOMI assured the families of the two crash victims — Kongbrailatpam Nganthoi Sharma of Thoubal and Namlunthiem Singson of Kanpokpi — of full support during the repatriation and final rites. Calling for unity in grief, COCOMI urged the people of Manipur to honour the return of the deceased with dignity and love as the state is mourning the loss of its two promising daughters.
DNA identification of the bodies is currently underway and expected to take around 72 hours, after which the remains would be flown to Manipur.
On the other hand, the AAI in Imphal said it would extend all possible support and assistance for the arrival of the remains at Imphal airport. "We extend our deepest condolences on the tragic loss of Ms Namlunthiem Singson (26) and Ms Nganthoi Sharma Kongbrailakpam (20)—beloved daughters of Manipur and esteemed members of the 10-member cabin crew aboard Air India Flight AI 171, which met with a tragic accident shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad on June 12," AAI stated in a press note.
"Their unwavering commitment to duty, exemplified by grace, professionalism, and courage, will be remembered with profound respect and enduring admiration," the note added while condoling the deaths.
