Gujarat Home Minister Harsh Sanghavi on Sunday praised the dedication of the 36-member forensic team working tirelessly to match DNA samples of victims from the devastating Air India flight AI-171 crash.
The June 12 crash of the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner claimed 241 lives. Amid the wreckage, charred remains are being painstakingly identified by forensic experts at Ahmedabad Civil Hospital, often under emotionally and physically taxing conditions.
In a heartfelt tribute on social media platform X, Sanghavi acknowledged the sacrifices being made by these unsung heroes. He highlighted a team member continuing to work despite his mother&rsquo;s life-threatening condition, and eight women experts who are mothers of toddlers under the age of three, yet remain focused on the mission.
&ldquo;Despite personal struggles, these professionals show unmatched compassion and commitment,&rdquo; Sanghavi wrote.
So far, 44 DNA samples have been matched, including 22 confirmed on Sunday. Authorities continue to urge patience from families awaiting confirmation, as experts strive to ensure accuracy in handing over remains.
