Air India Kanishka Flight 182 plunged into the Atlantic on June 23, 1985 after an explosion in the aircraft, killing all 329 people on board.
Prime minister Manmohan Singh is likely to visit the Air India Memorial here to pay respect to the victims of 1985 Kanishka bombing that killed 329 people, mostly of Indian origin, during his tour for the G-20 Summit later this week.
Air India Kanishka Flight 182 plunged into the Atlantic on June 23, 1985 after an explosion in the aircraft, killing all 329 people on board.
The Indian premier is likely to visit the Air India Memorial later this week to pay respect to the victims, official sources said today.
A probe led by retired Supreme Court Justice John Major last week blamed the Canadian police and intelligence for laxity in not detecting the bombs planted by pro-Khalistani elements.
Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper, who will visit the Memorial on the 25th anniversary tomorrow, is likely to make important announcements, sources said.
SM Gavai, Indian high commissioner to Canada and a large number of Indo-Canadian will attend the 25th anniversary of tragedy tomorrow.
The Candian prime minister assured the family members of the victims that the government would respond "positively" to the recommendations made by an inquiry committee and said compensation would be offered to all.
Harper, who met the families of the victims, mostly Indian-origin hours after the report was made public last week, told them the government would provide compensation to them.
In his 3200-page report, Kanishka inquiry commissioner major criticised the way successive governments treated the families. He blamed the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service and successive federal governments for the tragedy.
During his visit to Toronto for the G-20 Summit from June 25, prime minister Singh will sign a civil nuclear energy agreement with Canada.
The nuclear pact would cover areas of research and development in nuclear energy, nuclear waste management, radiation safety and environment protection.
According to officials, the bilateral engagement will give a fresh impetus to the economic and commercial cooperation between India and Canada in the areas of Science and Technology, health, agriculture and culture.
A number of agreements and MoUs were under active negotiations and are likely to be concluded and signed during
the visit. These included cooperation in civil nuclear energy cooperation, social security, mining, higher education and culture.
