Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the Ahmedabad Civil Hospital in Gujarat this morning and met those injured in the Air India plane crash. Mr Modi also visited the plane crash site and took stock of the situation. His visit came a day after the deadly Boeing 787-8 crash, which claimed the lives of 241 people, including 12 crew members onboard. Several security agencies are involved in the rescue work. The plane crashed immediately after take-off from Ahmedabad airport yesterday.
The aircraft, operating from Ahmedabad to London Gatwick, plunged into a residential complex near B J Medical College, killing 241 people on board. A person, who is a British national of Indian origin, survived the crash and is currently undergoing treatment at a local hospital.
