KASARGOD: The Mangalore Air Crash Victims’ Families Association on Friday demanded compensation for all families of the victims as per the recent judgment of the High Court.Association leader Kalingam Narayanan and KATA vice-president N A Sulaiman told mediapersons here that majority of the families were yet to get the full compensation as per rules. They said that the Kerala High Court had ordered payment of not less than `75 lakh as compensation to each of the families of the victims following a petition filed by Abdul Salam of Kumbla who had lost his son in the plane crash. The judgment was hailed by Civil Aviation Minister Vayalar Ravi and other political leaders.“The Ministry of Civil Aviation had even directed the Air India to pay `75 lakh each to the victims. But instead of awarding the compensation and taking a humane stand on the issue, the Air India filed a review petition in the High Court,” they added. The association, therefore, appealed to all political parties, media and social organisations to fight for the demand for rightful compensation to the dependents of the victims.
