Ahmedabad: In a grim update on the tragic Air India plane crash, Ahmedabad City Police Commissioner G.S. Malik has stated that there appear to be no survivors among those on board.

“It appears there are no survivors in the plane crash,” Commissioner Malik told The Associated Press.

He further added that since the aircraft went down in a densely populated residential area that also housed several offices, it is likely that local residents may have also been killed.

“Exact figures on casualties are being ascertained,” he said.

The London-bound Air India flight, carrying over 240 people, crashed shortly after taking off from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport around midday. Rescue and relief operations are ongoing. DeshGujarat
