Gumla/Bokaro: Bodies of two more persons from Jharkhand who had gone missing in Uttarakhand’s Chamoli district in the glacier burst were recovered from the under-construction NTPC hydel power site on Sunday, authorities said.
One of the deceased was identified as Jyotish Bakhla, a resident of Lohardaga’s Bethod village, while the other was identified as Amrit Kumar, resident of Jaridih village in Gomia block of Bokaro district.
“Bakhla’s corpse was identified by residents of Bethod village camping in Tapovan while Kumar’s identity was known from his I-cards found on the body,” Dhirendra Kumar Mahto, the Lohardaga labour department’s superintendent, told TOI over the phone from Tapovan on Sunday. Mahto is camping in Chamoli with three men from Bethod village to identify the missing workers. Last week, rescue workers had recovered the corpse of one Vicky Mahto, a worker from Bethod village who also went missing soon after the mishap.
