Mangalore: To protect the interests of the family members of Mangalore air crash victims and to save them from a possible exploitation by various agencies, Mangalore Air Crash Victims Families Association has been formed.
Addressing a press meet here on Wednesday, Association President Mohammed Beary said the Association will help the families of Mangalore air crash victims to receive their remaining promised compensation amount from Air India at the earliest and also in simplifying the procedure. The Association will also help the families in getting succession certificate and other attestation/countersign by creating an awareness among the family members. It will also help the kin in getting State Government's compensation of Rs 2 lakh.
It would also lend a helping hand in filling the Air India claim application forms, he informed.
Beary said several foreign lawyers have contacted us and have assured to fight for the case. However, we will fight on our own as per the Carriage by Air (Amendment) Act and will not take the help of foreign advocates. In case of necessity, we will take the help of a Supreme Court judge to fight for our victims.
