The plane, part of the Vande Bharat Mission to repatriate Indian nationals from overseas during the coronavirus lockdown, skidded off the tabletop runway and fell into a 35-feet deep valley, breaking into two portions.
Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said he was deeply “anguished and distressed” at the accident and that relief teams from Air India and Airports Authority of India (AAI) had been dispatched from Delhi and Mumbai.
“All efforts are being made to help passengers. A formal inquiry will be conducted by AAIB (Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau),” he said on Twitter.
