Investigators have found no abnormality in the fuel control switch locking mechanism of the Air India Boeing Dreamliner that crashed just 35 seconds after taking off from Ahmedabad airport on June 12 last year, killing 260 people on board and on the ground, the government said on Wednesday.The government informed the Parliament that the control switch was taken up for advanced testing by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The response comes amid a crucial examination of the complete thrust control module that is still underway in Seattle.

Responding to questions in the Rajya Sabha, Minister of State for Civil Aviation Murlidhar Mohol said the tests were ordered by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) as part of continuing airworthiness checks after the aircraft type was grounded in February this year.
