A government-formed multi-disciplinary committee convened on Monday to delve into the causes of the Ahmedabad plane crash, marked as one of the nation's worst air disasters in decades. The high-level panel, chaired by Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan, assessed diverse theories regarding the incident.

The panel, comprising representatives from key ministries and agencies such as the Ministry of Civil Aviation and the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security, intends to establish frameworks for preventing future incidents. Stakeholders contributed insights on potential causes and solutions.
