Toll in Andhra train mishap reached 111
The search operation, which was halted, resumed in the hope of finding someone still alive in the compartments.
VALIGONDA (NALGONDA): With the recovery of eight more bodies from the mangled remains of the Repalle-Secunderabad Delta Fast Passenger and from the Gollacheruvu stream on Sunday, the toll rose to 111 in Saturday's train accident near Valigonda in Nalgonda district.
The search operation, which was halted on Saturday night, resumed in the morning with rescue personnel from the Army and the police nursing poignant but unrealistic hopes of finding someone still alive in the stricken compartments.
Army personnel found three bodies crouched in desperate agony in the mangled compartments and retrieved five others that had been washed away downstream.
Three of the bodies were identified by relatives, by now numb with grief but stunned by the final realisation all the same. Ten divers had been requisitioned from the naval base in Visakhapatnam to extricate bodies suspected of having been pinned down under.
