It has been one and a half months since the Ahmedabad plane crash, but many victim families are still not able to recover from the shock of this tragedy that took the lives of 270 people.
A similar situation is of Vishwas Kumar Bhalia, the only survivor of the plane crash, who saw his brother Ajay die in front of his eyes.
Vishwas has not yet recovered from the shock. His family says that Vishwas does not get sleep. He stays awake all night. Because of this, he has to be taken care of all the time like a small child. Apart from the family, friends are also constantly trying to encourage him.
Father said - Vishwas does not come out of his room
Mental trauma: When Divya Bhaskar spoke to Vishwas' father Rameshbhai Bhalia on the phone, he also expressed concern about his son's condition. He said, 'Son Vishwas has become confined to his room. He spends most of his time there. He has suffered a mental trauma, from which he has not yet recovered. You can imagine how horrific a scene he saw with his own eyes.' He said, 'His brother also died in the accident. Both the brothers used to live like best friends. They used to travel together from London to India. The whole family is in tension. His wife is also ill and she has stopped eating and drinking due to worry about her son. One son has died and the other son is in shock, so you can imagine what the condition of the family would be.'
Wakes up in the middle of the night: Cousin Sunny said, "Vishwas has not yet recovered from the shock. He does not sleep till late at night. Even if he sleeps, he wakes up with a startle and does not sleep again. We have also taken him to a psychiatrist for treatment. Our relatives and many other people keep calling him, but Vishwas does not talk to anyone." Vishwas stays away from the media. When Divya Bhaskar's team somehow contacted Vishwas, he said, 'My mental condition is not good right now, we will talk about everything peacefully.'
Vishwas Bhalia's aunt Ramaben Bhalia told Divya Bhaskar that Vishwas and Ajay's father Rameshbhai Bababhai Bhalia had been living in London for 25 years. Rameshbhai has four sons Vishwas, Ajay, Sunny and Nayan. All live in London. Vishwas and Ajay are married and their wives and children also live in London.
Vishwas and Ajay had a garment shop in Diu, but when it closed during the Corona period, they bought a fishing boat. Due to this, both the brothers lived at the ancestral home in Diu from winter to summer. They used to return to London at the beginning of the monsoon. Vishwas and Ajay used to live in Diu for 6-7 months and in London for four-five months every year.
Vishwas, who survived the plane crash, has a three-year-old son. At the same time, his brother Ajay had two daughters, who died due to illness in London. Other brothers and parents live in London and all are now British citizens.
