A total of 260 people are feared dead — 230 passengers and 12 crew members. There’s only a single survivor. NDRF Inspector Vinay Kumar said his team recovered 81 bodies. At least 50 injured people are currently receiving treatment in nearby hospitals.

Eyewitnesses described a massive fireball and thick black smoke after the collision. The temperature near the site rose to nearly 1,000 degrees. This made rescue operations difficult.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah held a meeting with Gujarat’s Chief Minister and other officials. The government is making sure injured people get proper care. Financial assistance is also being provided to victims’ families.

The Tata Group, which owns Air India, is offering a compensation of ₹1 crore to each family who lost a member in the tragedy. A phone helpline — 1800 5691 444 — is available for worried relatives and friends.

A high-level expert team is investigating all possible reasons for the incident. The DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation) ordered extensive safety checks for Air India’s Boeing 787-8 and 787-9 aircraft. This includes a detailed inspection of cabin air compressors, electronic engine controls, and related systems.

Recovering the black box is a major step forward in understanding what went wrong. This data is expected to aid investigators in their search for answers. Messages of condolences continue to come in from all over the world.
