New Delhi: Air India's parent company "Tata Group" on Friday announced setting up of a memorial and welfare trust worth 5 billion Indian Rupees (around 58 million US dollars) for the benefit of the June 12 plane crash victims.
The funds would be used in administering medical treatment of those who suffered serious injuries, and also rebuilding the B.J. Medical College Hostel's infrastructure which was damaged in the air crash.
A total of 260 people were killed in the plane crash which took place in Ahmedabad city of the western state of Gujarat. The London-bound flight AI-171, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, had crashed a few moments after taking off from the Ahmedabad airport.
A preliminary probe revealed that the ill-fated aircraft's fuel-control switches were found moved from the "run" to the "cut-off" position. The final report was awaited.
"The Trust will provide both immediate and continuing support to the dependents or next of kin of the deceased, to those injured, and to all others who are directly or collaterally affected by the accident," the Tata Group said in a statement.
