The Indian Ministry of Civil Aviation has announced a complete investigation into the recent Air India plane crash near Ahmedabad, which tragically claimed the lives of 241 individuals. A high-level committee has been formed to delve into the causes of the disaster, with a focus on both mechanical failures and potential pilot errors. This incident marks one of the most devastating aviation disasters in India’s history, prompting urgent scrutiny of existing safety protocols.
The committee, lead by the Union Home secretary, will not only investigate the crash’s immediate causes but also review the current Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) governing air travel in India. The Ministry, under the leadership of Minister K. Ram Mohan Naidu, emphasized the importance of understanding the safety regulations currently in place. Members of the committee will assess whether these protocols were adhered to and if any lapses contributed to the tragedy.
