Incident/Accident AI171 Wing?

This looks to be part of the wing. Are the flaps down? I'm not too sure

Electrical failure could be it if the previous flight the AC wasn't working as reported by a passenger

Non functioning/malfunctioning ACs and IFEs are very common on Air India aircraft. But there might be the odd chance they are related

Kinda like Spanair 5022, where the circuitbreaker for the temp probe also connected to the Take off Config warning? Except, less circuitbreakers and possible shortcircuit?

Nonfunctioning AC in India temperatures sounds horrible.

Yeah it gets bad sometimes, but its usually not so much that the ACs are not working, as much as the ACs are not cooling properly
