Mangaluru, May 22: Commemorating the eleventh anniversary of the Air India Express crash at Mangaluru International Airport in 2010, the district administration paid a solemn homage to the victims of the crash here at the memorial at Tannirbhavi, on Saturday May 22.

District in-charge minister Kota Srinivas Poojary, MP Nalin Kumar Kateel, MLA Vedavyasa Kamath, deputy commissioner Dr K V Rajendra, and assistant commissioner Madan and others paid tribute to the departed souls.

    11 years have passed since the tragedy, did any one have taken any step in extending the run way. We have and useless MP who is fit for a photo shoot. Make some effort to extend the runway so that such accidents do not happen.

    How did the British pilot's family get compensation in a short time? Other victims' families should have got it at least within the next three years.

    kannige mannu, most of the victims family did not get complete compensation or as per Geneva Convention's compensation. If you give justice to them then homage is acceptable.

    Just like his narcissist Guru Fekuji, he is good only for photo sessions.... 11 years over, still victims families did not get compensation and what efforts these good for nothing Nalin has put for them except shedding crocodile tears and keeping a wreath every year at the memorial,,,, The family members of the victims of Calicut air crash which happened less than a year before already got interim compensation

    If victims of Calicut Crash could get interim compensation within a year, then Mangalore victims should have got full compensation at least in 3 years, i.e. in 2013.

    Only Main Foreign pilot relatives got compensation as per Geneva Convention rest others didn't get any money. Why. Everybodies relatives should get 75 lakhs insurance money as per Geneva convention. (see wikepedai) Everybody gets insurance automatically when you buy ticket so why other people relatives didnt get this 75 lakhs.
