Muslim Personal Law Board condoles victims of Ahmedabad Plane Crash, demands strict probe
New Delhi: The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) has expressed sorrow over the tragic Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad, which claimed the lives of nearly all 242 passengers and crew members on board. The flight, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, was en route to London when it crashed shortly after takeoff on June 12.
In an official statement issued on Friday, the Board's President, Maulana Khalid Saifullah Rahmani, conveyed condolences to the families of the victims. "We share in your sorrow and pray that the Almighty grants you patience and strength in this time of immense grief," he said.
Calling the incident unfortunate, Maulana Rahmani urged the Gujarat government and Air India authorities to ensure complete care and support for those injured in the crash. He also stressed the need for stringent aircraft maintenance practices to avoid such tragedies.
“This tragedy, which occurred moments after takeoff, raises serious questions about the upkeep of aircraft. Planes must not be operated beyond their prescribed service period. Even minor negligence in maintenance can lead to catastrophic outcomes,” he said.
The Board has demanded a thorough and transparent investigation into the crash to ascertain the exact cause. “If any negligence is found on the part of Air India, the Airport Authority of India, or the maintenance team, strict action must be taken. Accountability is necessary to prevent similar disasters in the future,” the statement added.

4 workers die after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad
Dhanbad (Jharkhand) (PTI): At least four workers died after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad district on Saturday, a police official said.
The incident took place at Moonidih coal washery in the command area of Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL).
"Bodies of all four workers were dug out of debris during a rescue operation," Putki police station in-charge Waqar Hussain told PTI.
The incident took place when coal slurry was being loaded into trucks by workers, during which a large chunk of slurry fell and trapped several workers underneath, officials said.

Meanwhile, the family members of the deceased and local villagers placed the bodies in front of the washery gate and began a protest.
