✈️ Air India AI171 Crash – Nation Still Mourns
On June 12, 2025, Air India’s Boeing 787 Dreamliner (Flight AI171) crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad, killing 241 out of 242 people on board and 19 others on the ground. The aircraft hit a building near B. J. Medical College, causing massive destruction. It was India’s deadliest aviation disaster since 1996.
The only survivor, Vishwash K. Ramesh, a young entrepreneur seated near the cockpit, is currently under treatment in Mumbai. According to investigators, early data from the flight data recorder (FDR) suggests a simultaneous engine failure and flap retraction issue, leading to the tragic loss of control.
- 🧑✈️ Pilot’s last message: “Mayday... engine failure.”
- 🧪 Investigation status: Preliminary report due by September 12
- 🇮🇳 Notable victim: Former Gujarat CM Vijay Rupani
- 👥 Global reaction: Leaders from UK, Canada, and Portugal offered condolences
Families of the victims have begun receiving compensation packages from Air India and the Indian government. A permanent memorial is being planned in Ahmedabad to honour the lives lost.
🌧️ Monsoon 2025 – Relief in South, Delay in North
India’s southwest monsoon has finally arrived in Kerala and parts of Karnataka and Maharashtra. However, its progress toward the northern states remains slow due to a delay in the formation of the Bay of Bengal trough.
📍 Region-wise Monsoon Update:
| Region | Monsoon Status | Forecast |
|---|---|---|
| Kerala | Active | Heavy rain likely in next 5 days |
| Maharashtra | Weak but progressing | Scattered rainfall |
| UP, Bihar | Delayed | Rain expected by July 10–12 |
🌾 Agricultural Impact:
- Farmers in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar are advised to delay sowing of paddy until consistent rains begin.
- IMD has recommended alternate cropping patterns in rain-deficit areas.
While monsoon has brought much-needed relief to drought-hit zones in Karnataka, the uneven pattern continues to raise concern. Experts advise states to prepare for localized flooding in case of abrupt heavy rains.
