It was morning with grief outside the morgue of the Ahmedabad civil hospital, where Hushu Rajpurochit’s family gathered to restore his deaths, three days after the catastrophic catastrophe in India, which left everyone but one of 242 passengers died.
Her uncle Kishor Rajpurochit waited outside the complex from the early morning. A government officer called the family to confirm the unimaginable: that Kushu, a 21-year-old bride to start married life in London, was identified by DNA testing.
“She married on January 17 this year, waiting for a visa permission to travel to London and live with her husband,” G -n Rajpurochit told IndependentS Her father had gone to see her at the airport. “He waited until she got up and didn’t even cross Mehsana when we learned about the crash.”
The final confirmation came on Sunday morning, when a government employee appointed by the government informs the family that DNA results had coincided.
At about 10am, they gathered outside the morgue, holding on to each other for comfort as they waited to complete the formalities. A few hours later, Hushu’s ark was carefully loaded in an ambulance to be taken to her hometown of Jodhpur, to Rajasthan, accompanied by a police escort and a vehicle Air India.
“This will be passed on to the family with complete honor,” said Rajpurochit.

Khushbo’s was one of the 14 bodies transmitted on Sunday, according to hospital officials. The identification process is diligent and slow, as most victims were highly disconnected in the explosion. Dr. Rajain Patel, an additional head of the civil hospital, revealed that another body was restored only on Saturday from the tail of the aircraft.
The London -bound Boeing 787 struck a hostel at the Medical College in a residential area of the northwestern city of Ahmedabad minutes after a departure on Thursday, killing 241 people on board and at least 29 on the spot. One passenger survived. Hundreds of relatives of the victims of the crash provided DNA samples at the hospital. Most of the bodies were charred or crippled, which makes them unrecognizable.
Of the many challenges that employees face, the most sensitive have gathered the remains. A senior hospital employee involved in the identification process, said Independent that the remains must be “identified accurately and sewn together … We must honor the dead.”

Comparison DNA, he added, takes between 48 and 72 hours per victim. So far, at least 32 full matches have been achieved, with more in progress, said Dr. Ptel. Among those whose DNA match is confirmed includes former Gujarat Chief Minister Vija Rupani.
Outside the hospital, the line of ambulances stood ready. Mahindra Singh, an ambulance driver, a Gujarat city, said it was located there since Saturday morning. “They told us to wear two bodies. After calling, we leave. We are not allowed to contact families – only the nodes inform them.”
From Kuch Bharat, he had arrived with a fleet of five ambulances. “We were ordered by the regional administration to collect the authorities. Government officials will accompany them,” he said.
At the Panchal House in the Barod, it was a call that no one wanted to get – certainly not at 12.30. Shashi Panchal’s phone rang on Saturday night, carrying with him the final confirmation that was afraid: the bodies of his older brother Narendra Panchal and the daughter-in-law, Usa Panchal, were identified by DNA testing.
The couple was among the 241 victims of the Air India crash, which has devastated families across India and outside. They were on their first trip to London to visit their only son who studied for a legal degree in the UK.
“My nephew had to return in September,” said G -Panchal, talking to Ahmedabad’s Civil Hospital on Sunday. “But my brother had suggested that they visit him instead, and the three could have come back together.”
G -n Panchall, who was traveling from the barod for one night, admitted that the confirmation came as a crushing shock. “In fact, I didn’t even know they were in this flight,” he said. “When I heard what happened … I can’t even start describing what was going on to me. It was a very difficult time.”
He was told to arrive at the hospital by noon, but the delay in formalities meant that he had not yet seen mortal remains when Independent Talk to him. However, he expressed gratitude for how the process was managed. “The services are good, the arrangements too. Whatever happens, it happened,” he said.

But no sense of order can fill the space left from the dead. Asked if he sought an investigation into the tragedy, D -Panchal replied: “I just want to make sure something like this never happens again. The government and all the authorities have to guarantee this.”
“Because no matter how good the services are, they will not return my brother and my daughter -in -law,” he added.
Along with the official investigation, the Indian government has set up a high -level committee to investigate the causes leading to the crash. The Committee will focus on formulating procedures to prevent and deal with emergencies in the future, the Ministry of Civil Aviation said in a statement on Saturday.
Authorities have also started inspecting the entire Air India fleet by Boeing 787 Dreamliners, Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Nidy Kinjarapu said on Saturday in the capital Delhi at his first briefing for the news after the Thursday crash.
Eight of the 34 Dreamliners in India have already undergone an inspection, said G -n Kinjarapu, adding that the other planes will be discussed with “immediate urgency”.
Friday investigators restored the digital recorder for airplane flight or black box from the roof near the site of the crash.
The device is expected to disclose information about the engine and control settings, while the voice recorder will provide conversations in the cockpit, said Paul Fromm, a mechanical engineer at the UK -based institution of mechanical engineers.
The plane that crashed was 12 years old. Boeing planes are struck by problems with the safety of other types of aircraft. There are currently about 1,200 of 787 Dreamliner aircraft around the world, and it was the first deadly disaster for 16 years of work, according to experts.
