Ahmedabad: On Thursday, six families of victims of AI 171 accident found a “second set” of remains from the civil hospital here. For some, this can mean another funeral.These remains were more than 16 found at the debris site in Meghaninagar during post -Operations of the disaster; They were matched with DNA samples provided by Qin.A consent form was distributed among the deceased’s relatives, including passengers, crew members, doctors, their relatives and local residents, including sources close to development. “The form sought permission to complete the funeral of the remains that could be found during further approval of the spot or during medical analysis,” said an official.Six families from different parts of Gujarat, including Anand, Nadid and Ahmedabad, asked hospital officials to contact them in the case of DNA matches. “It is rare to perform more than one funeral for the same person, but in this case the families have a certificate of DNA matches and a handover of mortal remains. Thus, there will be no problem, even if there is more than one funeral for the remains,” the official said.Of the remaining 10 victims, nine families have agreed to the hospital completing the funeral, while the family’s family is waiting for the response, the sources said.Sources said that new sets of remains are minuscule compared to before. An official associated with the procedure said, “Some have part of the body, while some have one or more bones. Due to the nature of the accident, it is possible that the victims may have intense crisis, which may cause fragmentation.”In late June, the Health Department of Gujarat put an air crash death toll at 260. The figure consisted of 229 passengers and 12 crew members, who were riding in a total flight of 241. The remaining 19 people lost their lives on the ground. All mortal remains were sent to forensic laboratories for DNA matching with existing records of relatives.
