Mangalore, Jun 8 (DHNS): The investigation team set up by the Central government to conduct inquiry into the Air India Express IX-812 tragedy arrived in Mangalore on Monday and conducted spot inspection as part of its preliminary inquiry. 

The Team led by retired Air Marshall Bhushan Neelakanta Gokhale arrived in Mangalore at around 1.20 pm and visited the runway of Bajpe airport and checked all other security arrangements. The team visited the Air Traffic Control division of the airport and collected information from the officers. Later they proceeded to the air crash site and checked the wreckage of the aeroplane.



















The eight-member team consisted of former Director of Indian Airlines Gurucharan Bathura, former Flight Inspector Capt Ron Nagar, former DGCA officer S S Nath, Working Vice-President of Go Air Babu Peter and other officials.

Speaking to reporters, Gokhale said: “We have been asked by the government to submit the report by August 31. We are confident and we will do our best to submit the report by August 31.”

“This is only a preliminary inquiry. We will be in Mangalore for two more days. We will speak to ATC officials at the airport and also collect information from those who survived the air crash,” he explained.

A court will be set up in Mumbai for further inquiry and proceedings with regard to the Mangalore air crash. The team will visit Mangalore again as part of the inquiry later, he added.

    Setting up a committee for air crash or any other disaster is a FASHION in India. Final result is as usual same story : NO RESULT: Public memory is very poor and they will forget this tragedy / committe and enquiry. Vey bad.
    Have we seen any good outcome after doing enquiry by committee ?
    1.Babri Masjid Demolition
    2.Bhopal Union Carbide Gas leak
    3.Godhra Massacre
    4.Parlialent attack
    5.Mumbai Taj attack
    6.Series of Bomb Blasts in India
    7.Commission on Coffin Box -Kargil
    8.Bullet Proof Jacket Scam (Hemant Karkare by Kasab or 70 soldiers by Maoists would not have been killed if there would have been good bullet proof jacket)
    List is too big...I can write a book about Enquiry commission . So, this Air India crash at M'lore will join as a new item in the list.

    Who will conduct the investigation into the second tragedy to hit the brieved families when the Administration and the Police failed to deliver many bodies to its rightful owners and in other cases failed to produce the bodies to its rightful claimants.
