Patna: A day after Mamata Banerjee said 31 people from West Bengal are still missing following the horrific triple-train accident in Odisha’s Balasore district on June 2, Bihar provided its numbers involved in one of the worst rail mishaps in India.
According to Bihar’s Disaster Management Department, 43 people from the state have died, 47 were injured and 18 are ‘missing’.
According to latest update, there are 88 unclaimed bodies which have been kept in four containers at AIIMS Bhubaneswar.
The Odisha government and Indian Railways are leaving no stone unturned to ensure that these bodies are identified and handed over to next of kin.
The unidentified bodies could be the link to ‘missing’ numbers of Bengal and Bihar.
The death toll in the accident — involving the Shalimar-Chennai Coromandel Express, Yeshvanthpur-Howrah Superfast Express and a goods train — has been revised and re-revised to 288.
