A week after the fire at Santacruz’s Hotel Galaxy that claimed three lives, the family of the deceased couple has sent a notice to IndiGo airlines, requesting that they fulfil what they believe is the airline’s ‘moral and legal responsibility’. The couple, along with two of their kin, had been provided accommodation at the hotel by the airline after they were disallowed from boarding their flight from Mumbai to Nairobi due to gate closure. The travellers’ connecting flight from Ahmedabad had arrived late.
Since the incident occurred on August 27, your company has not made any public statements or offered condolences, including communication regarding rightful compensation to the deceased family,” the notice reads. The notice has provided the company with a 14-day period (starting September 2, the day it was sent) to compensate the families of the victims; otherwise, “necessary legal action” will be initiated.
