New Delhi: The Indian government has set up a high-level committee to investigate the tragic crash of Air India Flight AI-171.

The Ministry of Civil Aviation has said that the committee will study the causes behind the crash and look at what went wrong. It will also review the current safety rules and suggest new ways to prevent such accidents in the future.

The committee will not replace other ongoing investigations by different agencies but will focus on improving policies and safety guidelines.

This high-level team will be led by the Union Home Secretary. It will include senior officials from the Ministry of Civil Aviation, the Indian Air Force, the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, the Intelligence Bureau, and other departments.

Experts from Gujarat government, the Ahmedabad police, disaster response authorities, and forensic science will also be part of the team. The panel can also include more aviation experts, legal advisors, or investigators if needed. The committee will have access to important records such as flight data, cockpit voice recordings, aircraft maintenance logs, ATC (Air Traffic Control) logs, and witness statements.

It will also visit the crash site and speak with people involved — including crew members, air traffic controllers, and rescue teams. If the crash involves international elements, the committee will coordinate with foreign agencies and aircraft manufacturers. (IANS)
