New Delhi: Among the 241 dead following the tragic Air India flight crash in Ahmedabad, minutes after taking off, was a 40-year-old nurse from Kerala's Pathanamthitta, who was on her last visit to the UK to wrap up her work and settle down back in Kerala. Ranjitha, a single mother of two children, was a dedicated professional who had been working as a nurse in the UK for several years. Her dream was to return to her homeland and settle down with her family. However, before she could return to her family permanently, the tragic crash in Ahmedabad claimed her life. 

Ranjitha's journey back to Kerala was supposed to be a delightful one. She had planned to visit the UK one last time to wrap up her work and then return to her family for good. Her children had been eagerly waiting for her return, and the thought of being reunited with them had given Ranjitha the strength to persevere through the challenges of her job.

But fate had other plans. As Ranjitha boarded Air India Flight AI171 from Ahmedabad, she had no idea that her life was about to take a tragic turn. The plane crashed minutes after takeoff, claiming the lives of 241 people, including Ranjitha. 

The reports of the passing of Ranjitha have left her entire village shocked and in grief, with her family and friends in deep mourning.

Her family members expressed their grief, stating that Ranjitha's dream of building a life with her children in Kerala will now remain unfulfilled. 

Her family had been looking forward to her return, and her children had been counting down the days until they could be reunited with their mother. However, the disaster has left them shattered and rallying in grief.
