“We are coordinating with the authorities of Ahmedabad in a state-level way. Also, we are in touch with the Air India management to ensure there is no delay in the process,” she added.

While talking to the media, in response to a question regarding the derogatory social media post against Ranjitha by a Deputy Tehsildar from Kasaragod, the minister termed it as an “inhuman” act.

“The society is seriously watching the incident, and such things will not be tolerated,” she said.

MLA K.U. Janeesh Kumar accompanied the minister during the visit. Veena George further assured that the family’s immediate and long-term needs would be addressed by the government.

Ranjitha Gopkumaran Nair (39), a nurse from Pathanamthitta, was among the victims of the Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner crash in Ahmedabad on Thursday.

Ranjitha, who had worked as a nurse in Salalah, Oman, and later in the UK, was on the cusp of fulfilling her life’s aspirations.

She had been working in the UK for the past eight months and returned to India recently to complete the formalities for renewing the government job she held in Kerala.

After completing the paperwork for her government job, she was returning to the UK when the tragedy struck.
