The somber mood engulfed B J Medical College and Hospital, which turned into an epicenter of mourning following a catastrophic Air India plane crash on its foundation day. Traditionally a day of celebration, June 16 has been overshadowed by the aftermath of the tragic June 12 incident.
A Boeing Dreamliner 787-8, en route to London, crashed shortly after taking off from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport, tragically claiming 241 lives aboard and additional casualties on the ground. The incident has left indelible marks on the institution and its community.
Amid the tragedy, the BJMC's dedicated medical professionals continued their service to victims and their families, embodying the oath they took upon graduation, in an environment now filled with grief rather than festivity.
