Families of the victims of India’s worst train disaster in decades have been struggling to identify their loved ones among the 288 dead. At the Bahanaga High School, close to the three-way collision in the east of the country, relatives have been asked to scan images of corpses in a makeshift morgue. Only 45 of the 179 bodies received by the school have so far been identified, some of which were not intact and many of which have been further damaged by the heat. The remaining unidentified bodies are to be moved to better-equipped facilities before undergoing eventual DNA testing.
