So far, 233 bodies have been recovered from the flooded river in Chitwan, Nepal, of which only four have been identified. The remaining 229 unidentified bodies will be buried en masse at Devghat starting today. Before burial, each body will receive a DNA sample and a unique code, allowing for identification if a family claims them in the future.

The rapid deterioration of the bodies has led the authorities to make massive DNA shots to identify the victims. Nepal: A total of 669 people killed by a flood appeared first in Eleven News.
