Chennai: “It is not over till it is over.” Five days after his wife Chandrika Sharma boarded the Malaysian Airlines flight to Beijing, K.S. Narendran is guardedly optimistic.
Speaking to the media for the first time since the mysterious disappearance of the MH370 aircraft, he hit out at the Indian government for not “doing enough.”
Mr. Narendran said the Indian government had done little to provide adequate information, assistance or guidance to the families of the passengers on the flight. “The Indian High Commissioner in Malaysia has been calling me [up] on and off but there has been no communication from officials of the Indian government.”
His daughter, Meghna, a psychology student at Ambedkar University in New Delhi, was also present.

He said the CEO of Malaysian Airlines had written to him, facilitating his travel to Kuala Lumpur. “But I can do that only when I get some information.
