An officer who is a part of the SDRF unit and who joined in 2017, said he has been involved in crisis matters previously but has never witnessed a disaster like this before.

"We came here with PPE kits. But the temperature was so high that it made operations difficult. There were debris everywhere. So we had to clear the debris that were already simmering," he said.

Earlier, Union home minister Amit Shah, who visited the site of the crash on Thursday said that there was 1.25 lakh litres of fuel on the aircraft.

“There was 1.25 lakh litres of fuel inside the plane and it caught fire so it was impossible to save anyone,” Amit Shah told reporters.
