Bodies are seen at a high school used as temporary mortuary to identify the dead recovered from the carriage wreckage of a three-train collision near Balasore, in India’s eastern state of Odisha, on June 4, 2023/AFPPix: Desperate relatives searched Sunday for loved ones missing after India's worst train disaster in decades, and the death toll was expected to climb above 288 as authorities searched for clues to the cause.
It slammed into a freight train and the wreckage derailed an express running north from India's tech hub Bengaluru to Kolkata that was also passing the site. “There were bodies with only a torso, an entirely burnt face, disfigured skull and no other visible identity markers left,“ said Ranajit Nayak, the police officer in charge of releasing the bodies.
The rescue effort was declared over on Saturday evening after emergency personnel had combed the mangled wreckage for survivors and laid scores of bodies out under white sheets beside the tracks.
