A team of NDRF has been deployed at crash site. This team comprises of 50 personnel. 

As we mourn the victim.Its now time to look at the cause which we payed nearly 17 . 

Actually  a warning was issued by Captain Mohan ranganathan a member of a safety advisory committee formed by the ministry of civil aviation in 2011.

 What he suggested the airport authority is that the runway should have given 240 meters buffer at the end . But the buffer in runway of 90 meters buffer.The topography of the runway is not accessible during rainy conditions.
