Amritsar, April 2: Teary-eyed relatives and friends waited for hours in the heat outside the airport here on Monday as the mortal remains of 38 Indians, killed by the Islamic State terror group in Iraq’s Mosul in 2014, arrived here on a special IAF aircraft. A pall of gloom descended at the airport complex here as 31 coffins carrying the mortal remains of men from Punjab and Himachal Pradesh were brought out of the airport building to be taken to their tive places in specially arranged ambulances. Families and fellow villagers had been camping outside the airport complex since early morning, waiting for the mortal remains to arrive. “It is a very sad moment for all of us. Most of the victims were young men who had gone to Iraq to earn money. Their families are devastated,” said Surjit Singh, relative of one of the victims. The coffins of seven other victims, hailing from Bihar and West Bengal, were taken in another IAF aircraft to Pat and Kolkata.
