Mangalore: Memories of victims of IX-812 crash and those who survived India's worst aviation disaster in little over a decade is likely to be perpetuated forever in the form of a memorial being planned for them by Air India. While it is early days as far as this idea (of setting up a memorial) is concerned, the management of Air India has warmed up to the idea and an official announcement is expected from AI HQ in the near future.
Harpreet A De Singh, general manager (Quality Management System), Air India and its emergency response coordinator told reporters here on Saturday that the national carrier is alive to the idea and will announce its plans once it is finalised. Likewise, AI has also planned to hold prayer meet in memory of the victims on June 22 to coincide with first month anniversary of the incident. The venue and time will be decided soon, she said.
Acknowledging the fact that the crash has traumatised a whole section of people involved either directly or otherwise, she said various trauma-counselling sessions for those affected is in the pipeline.
