The tragic plane crash in Ahmedabad has shocked the entire nation. On June 13, 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Ahmedabad to assess the situation. He visited the crash site to understand the extent of the damage. During his visit, he inspected the damaged medical hostel and mess building caused by the crash.
Accompanying him were several dignitaries, including Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, Union Minister of Civil Aviation Jyotiraditya Scindia, and senior officials from the state government. They were all present to support the Prime Minister during this grave situation.
After visiting the crash site, Prime Minister Modi went to Ahmedabad Civil Hospital. There, he met with the injured victims receiving treatment. He inquired about their health and encouraged their families to remain strong during this difficult time.
The crash involved an Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner that was en route to London. A total of 265 people were on board, and sadly, 264 lost their lives. Only one passenger survived the disaster. Eyewitnesses reported a massive fire immediately after the crash, which occurred only minutes after takeoff. Rescue operations were swift, with teams working to clear debris and recover bodies.
In a surprising turn of events, during the debris clearance, a book was found that remained unburned. This book was the Bhagavad Gita, which is believed to belong to one of the passengers. While the plane and its passengers were engulfed in flames, this sacred text was remarkably intact.
The U.S. officials have stated that there is no evidence of mechanical failure with the Boeing 787. They confirmed that they will not impose any flight restrictions on this model for now. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is ready to assist India in investigating the crash.
In the wake of this tragedy, Prime Minister Modi held a high-level meeting with Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel and various ministers to discuss the way forward. They are committed to providing all necessary support to the victims’ families.
The crash has left many families grieving, especially in the areas of Vadodara and surrounding regions. Many of the deceased were traveling to London to visit family or for work. Victims included students, healthcare workers, and professionals, all of whom had hopes and dreams cut short by this disaster.
The local community is in mourning as they come to terms with the loss. Many families are still waiting for news about their loved ones, and the emotional toll is heavy. The government has promised to assist families and ensure that investigations into the crash are thorough and transparent.
As the nation watches closely, Prime Minister Modi has assured that justice will be served and that the victims’ memories will be honoured. This incident reminds us of the fragility of life and the importance of safety in air travel. The government is determined to take all necessary steps to prevent such tragedies in the future.
