Family members waiting for repatriation of remains say government response has been ‘painfully slow’
Grieving family members of three British citizens who were killed in the Air India plane crash have accused the UK government of a “disjointed, inadequate and painfully slow” response on the ground in India.
The family of Akeel Nanabawa and Hannaa Vorajee and their four-year-old daughter Sara Nanabawa are calling on the UK government to improve how it is communicating with the family members who rushed to Ahmedabad in Gujarat after the crash.
The Boeing 787 Dreamliner’s crash on 12 June killed 241 of the 242 people onboard.
Family members said they were told their loved ones had been identified and were given a 72-hour timeframe for the bodies to be released, only for this to be retracted without explanation.
