Ahmedabad Air India Crash: DNA Test Delays Worsen Families’ Heartache 😢

Officials at a press briefing in B.J. Medical College Hospital provided updates on the Air India Boeing 787 crash, confirming the ongoing efforts to identify victims and support affected families. Dr Rajnish Patel, professor of surgery and hospital spokesperson, explained that DNA identification is underway and advised families not to visit the hospital unless instructed. Instead, they can call designated helplines and authorise a relative—such as a distant family member—with valid documentary proof to initiate the claim process. A total of 230 coordination teams have been formed to manage logistics and assist grieving families across different regions.

During the briefing, a man who had been waiting for four days to receive his relative’s body raised concerns over the delay. Officials acknowledged the issue and stated that the process involves detailed steps, including DNA collection, testing, and confirmation, which takes time due to the scale of the tragedy.
