Malaysian PM confirms MH370 crashed, Indian family mourns loss of kin

Ahmednagar/ New Delhi, March 25 (ANI): After the declaration made by Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak about the crash of missing Malysian flight MH370 in Southern Indian Ocean, relatives of the passengers in India mourn over the death of their kin. The relatives express shock as well as anger at the news saying that in this world of technology, it is hard to believe that a Boeing plane can go missing. Meanwhile, retired Rear Admiral K Raja Menon expressed doubt over the statement of plane crash as there has been no valid proof for it. The launch of an official air crash investigation would give Malaysia power to coordinate and sift evidence, but it may still face critics, especially China, which had more than 150 citizens on board the missing plane and has criticised Malaysia over the progress of the search.

Missing plane to hurt Malaysia tourism from China

Mumbai, March 18 (ANI): Malaysia Tourism said on Tuesday that the missing jetliner would hit the lucrative tourism trade from China although normalcy resumed from other sectors. China accounts for 12 percent of tourists to Malaysia, excluding those from neighbouring Singapore. The airline and the Malaysian government have faced demands to speed up their hunt for the plane from China, home to two-thirds of those on the aircraft. The Director General, Malaysia Tourism Promotion Board, Dato Mirza Mohammad Taiyab, who was speaking at a news conference in Mumbai, said that the travellers will overcome the sense of fear. No trace of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 has been found since it vanished on March 08 with 239 people aboard. Investigators are increasingly convinced it was diverted perhaps thousands of miles off course by someone with deep knowledge of the Boeing 777-200ER and commercial navigation. Mar 18, 2014
