The CISF has directed its personnel to go into preventive quarantine after at least two passengers of the Air India Express flight that crashed at Kozhikode tested positive for Covid-19, officials said on Saturday.
The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) has said it was the “first responder” to rescue passengers on Friday as it’s Assistant Sub Inspector Ajit Singh was on runway patrol when the Air India Express flight from Dubai with 190 people onboard overshot the tabletop runway, fell into a 35-foot valley and broke into two.
At least 18 passengers, including the two pilots of the Boeing 737-800 aircraft, were killed in the incident.
