ZAFollowing severe flash floods in Nepal's Chitwan district caused by the Bhote Koshi River, authorities have decided to bury 229 unidentified and unclaimed bodies to mitigate health risks. As of Saturday, 626 bodies had been recovered, with 233 coming from Chitwan alone. Hospitals lacked sufficient space and facilities to store the deceased, leading to temporary storage in a house, which eventually became overcrowded. Health experts warned of increased infection risks due to decomposition and foul odors. The District Security Committee ordered the burial of all unclaimed bodies starting Saturday in an open area of Devghat. Authorities plan to collect DNA samples and maintain records for potential future identification, adhering to international guidelines and local directives.
