#theeighthcolumn #odishatrainaccident #odisha On June 2, the Odisha train accident claimed 288 lives and left nearly 1,000 others injured. In the days that followed, seven others succumbed to their injuries in hospitals. While some of these were buried and cremated, 81 bodies couldn’t be identified. Over 50 days since the accident, families are struggling to find their loved ones. They are awaiting results of DNA profiling to perform the last rites of the deceased.
