Fragments of grief: AI 171 families cling to mementos from ashes — scorched gold jewellery and torn clothes, which tell stories of loss, are all that remain
The AI 171 crash in Meghaninagar left families devastated. They received fragments of belongings, offering little solace. Yasin Vora treasures a gold bar refined from his wife’s jewelry. Another relative received only a child’s shoe and anklet. The Halani family awaits the return of baggage. Heer Prajapati got a medicine packet. Arvind Khunt received nothing of his son’s belongings.
