Additionally, N. Chandrasekaran, chairman of Tata Sons, had announced on X that the Tata Group will provide ₹1 crore to the families of every victim of the ill-fated AI 171. He added that the group will cover the medical bills of everyone injured, which might include those on the ground.
Finally, Chandrasekaran’s post promised support for rebuilding the hostel of BJ Medical College, into which the flight has crashed. Most of the injured listed in the release by the Ahmedabad Police are presumed to be from the medical college’s hostel for undergraduates.
Only one person from AI 171 has survived, according to reports from the ground. Ramesh Viswashkumar seated on 11A was miraculously able to walk away from the crash site. He is a British citizen who was flying to London Gatwick on the ill-fated Boeing Dreamliner.
