₹16.74 Lakh on Chai & Biscuits While 260 Bodies Rotted: The Disgusting Air India Crash Scandal
Picture this nightmare: air india Flight 171 slams into ahmedabad on june 12, 2025. Two hundred and sixty people — men, women, children — gone in seconds. Families destroyed. A city in shock. For nearly thirty straight days, rescue teams waded through twisted metal and concrete, pulling out the dead. And right there, in the middle of that horror, someone signed off on ₹16.74 lakh worth of chai, biscuits, and refreshments. The ahmedabad Municipal Corporation didn’t even blink. No questions. No audit. Just rubber-stamped and paid.
That’s not a “logistics expense.” That’s a slap in the data-face to every grieving family.
While bodies were still being recovered, the refreshment bill kept ticking. One side of the disaster site had covered corpses and a mangled fuselage. The other side had neatly itemized invoices for snacks. The same system that screams about “fiscal discipline” and “public money” suddenly goes mute when lakhs are being spent on tea and biscuits during a national tragedy.
This isn’t incompetence — it’s institutional callousness on steroids. Rescue workers absolutely deserve support, but when the only thing that gets fast-tracked is the catering bill while everything else drags, you know the priorities are completely warped. The photo of Modi standing silently amid the wreckage now feels like the ultimate insult: a staged moment of “concern” while the real machinery of governance was busy approving snack budgets without a second thought.
India deserves better than leaders and bureaucrats who treat mass death as just another opportunity for casual expenditure. The dead can’t speak. Their families are still waiting for answers. And the only thing that moved at lightning speed was the bill for chai.
This is what rot looks like. And it stinks.
