Consent form to make the last ceremonies
The sources said The Times of India that the form of consent was divided among the relatives of the deceased, including passengers, crew members, doctors, their relatives and locals.
“The form was looking for permission to carry out the last ceremonies of the remains that can be found during the further clearing of the site or during a medical analysis,” the official said.
Now, according to the report, these remains were from 16 bodies found at the site of the debris in Meghaninagar during operation after the disaster. They were compared with DNA samples provided by Kin.
All six families belonged to various parts of Gujarat, including Anand, Nadiad and Ahmedabad. They asked the hospital authorities to approach them in the case of DNA match.

Of the remaining 10 victims, nine families agreed that the hospitals were conducting the last ceremonies, while the reactions of one victim’s family were expected, sources said.
“New Sets of Relaxs”
