Relatives continued to search for the remains of their loved ones among the bodies stacked at hospitals, accident sites and makeshift mortuaries following a multi-train collision in Odisha’s Balasore district. 88 bodies have been identified and handed over to their relatives while 187 bodies have been shifted to Bhubaneswar. Though Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw declared that the rescue operation was over on Saturday, more body parts were found on Sunday. Emotional relatives refused to leave the accident site without their loved ones. Fatima Bibi, a 40-year-old resident of Kolkata, was inconsolable in her search for her missing son.
