Ahmedabad, Gujarat: Students of B.J. Medical College hostels hit by the Air India Boeing Dreamliner vacated the buildings to facilitate the investigation into the Air India crash. The Aircraft Investigation Bureau, under the Ministry of Civil Aviation, is carrying out the probe, and, as part of that, Atulya 1, 2, 3, and 4 hostels were being vacated. These hostels accommodate postgraduate students, and alternative arrangements have been made for all of them.
In addition, BJ Medical College has announced the cancellation of all internal examinations for MBBS students. The college has also cancelled the summer vacation for all medical faculty and doctors and asked them to assist in the care of the injured. The decision affects over 500 students, particularly those in the first and second years, many of whom were living in the building that was hit by the Boeing Dreamliner. More than 200 students, including MBBS residents, have vacated their hostels and returned home due to trauma and fear. Sources said, at least 40 students who were present during the crash remain in a state of deep shock and distress. The examinations will be rescheduled once students have recovered from the psychological impact, officials said.
