As many as 41 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 on June 2. “We have 41 unclaimed bodies. People are coming to us and we are handing over the bodies after matching DNA samples,” said Dr (Prof) Ashutosh Biswas, Director, AIIMS Bhubaneswar, Odisha “The handing over process for bodies is going on and the relatives/claimants of other bodies are coming to take bodies,” Biswas added. The process of handing over the bodies will continue till the claimants arrive, it added. Earlier on Friday Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said that the lapses in the ‘signalling-circuit-alteration’ leading to wrong signals caused the tragic triple train accident in Odisha’s Balasore district.
