Twenty-eight unclaimed bodies of the Balasore train tragedy preserved at AIIMS here have been handed over to Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) for the cremation, a release said.
As many as 52 bodies at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Bhubaneswar are yet to be identified after the triple train collision in Odisha's Balasore district.
The investigation of the incident of derailment of a coach of the Howrah-bound local train near Kharagpur on 10 June has been taken over by the headquarters of South Eastern Railway.
The train incidentally had met with accidents twice on the country's Independence Day. Out of 10 mishaps the train faced so far, five occurred in Odisha alone.
Angry at the CBI raids on at least 14 civic bodies, chief minister Mamata Banerjee took a swipe at the CBI alacrity and wondered if the agency would now raid the washrooms in pursuit of its investigation.
The bodies stored at AIIMS Bhubaneswar are badly maimed and dismembered. It is impossible to recognise them.
The Additional Commissioner said over 80 bodies had piled up in different hospitals awaiting identification.
The triple train accident in Odisha's Balasore which left 275 dead and more than 1,000 injured, Indian Railways on Monday resumed running passenger trains on the tracks of the accident-affected route.
Railway minister said work on the reconstruction of the damaged tracks started soon after Prime Minister Narendra Modi sent out instructions to that effect.
