00:00So we're trying to book our flight ticket. We booked yesterday night from Air India flight. It was in the morning today, sorry, I mean afternoon at 12 o'clock. We got a call from them today at 6 o'clock that flight has been cancelled.
00:16So we're trying to book our flight from Air India or Qatar Airways or anything, but we haven't got any reply from anywhere. And British government and Indian government, we didn't have any reply from them to provide any tickets or anything like that.
00:33Must be very stressful for you. You must all just want to get out as soon as possible.
00:37Yeah, we want to get out as soon as possible and we can meet our cousin brothers, Rishas Kumar Ramesh, and we haven't got any updates for Ajay Kumar Ramesh. And we worry about him.
00:48How are you all doing to have that miracle of one brother surviving and losing your other brother? It just was wonderful.
00:57So we are, all of them are heartbroken. We are, we can't describe in the words. We are totally heartbroken about Ajay Kumar Ramesh, that we lost him.
01:09Have you managed to speak to Rishas Kumar Ramesh today?
01:14Yeah, we've spoken to Rishas in a quiet time this morning and he told us that we haven't got any updates for Ajay.
01:23We asked him how's your body and everything. He said I got a minor fracture, not fracture but injury, minor injury in his face and feet and hands, that's it.
01:34And bruises in the face.
01:37Oh my gosh. How many of you are wanting to travel out and I presume you want to see how Rishas is but you also...
01:47So, we are trying to get out like 14 to 13 people, relatives and his family, members and everyone.
01:56We are currently in the cold with everyone from the agent and flight Air India and everyone but they are not replying to us properly.
02:05Do you feel like you are getting enough support from both the UK government and the government in India?
02:12No, we haven't got any support from India or UK government at all.
02:17How do you feel about that?
02:19We just had broken that this thing happened to us and they are not providing anything about flight tickets or anything.
02:26No, it's not broken bones but he has minor injuries on his face and everything.
02:32He can walk and talk properly to us.
02:36Let's go.
02:37Welcome and play quickly.
02:42Let's go.
02:49Let's plug in.
