Air India Crash: Civil Aviation Minister Confirms Black Box Found, High-Level Probe Launched

Union Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu addressed the nation following the tragic Air India crash near Ahmedabad. In an emotional statement, he confirmed that the black box has been recovered and handed to the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) for decoding — a step expected to provide crucial insight into the crash sequence. The Minister revealed that a high-level committee has been constituted, chaired by the Union Home Secretary, to probe the incident from every angle within three months. Meanwhile, the DGCA has ordered extended surveillance of all 34 Boeing 787 aircraft in India — 8 have already been inspected. The government, in coordination with Gujarat officials, is conducting DNA testing to return remains to grieving families. Minister Naidu assured that no protocol will be compromised and that strict safety standards are being reinforced. This investigation aims to ensure accountability, closure, and reforms in aviation safety.#airindiacrash #rammohannaidu #blackboxrecovered #boeing787 #aaibprobe #dnatesting #aviationminister #flightinvestigation #gujaratcrash #toi #toibharat #bharat #breakingnews #indianews
