Prime Minister Narendra Modi has expressed deep sorrow over the tragic crash of Air India flight AI171 in Ahmedabad on June 12, calling it “heartbreaking beyond words.”
In a statement posted on social media platform X, the Prime Minister said, “The tragedy in Ahmedabad has stunned and saddened us. It is heartbreaking beyond words. In this sad hour, my thoughts are with everyone affected by it. Have been in touch with Ministers and authorities who are working to assist those affected.”
The crash, which involved a Boeing 787 Dreamliner en route to London Gatwick, occurred shortly after takeoff and resulted in a massive emergency response near the Meghani Nagar area. The aircraft was carrying 242 people, and rescue operations are currently underway.
PM Modi’s message follows earlier assurances from Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who also spoke with Gujarat officials and promised full central government assistance.
The Prime Minister’s office is reportedly monitoring the situation closely, as the nation mourns the lives lost and hopes for survivors.
