Search continues after 3 Days of Rail mishap in Midnapore

Three days after the train derailment in West Bengal's West Midnapore, the search is still on for the missing relatives and friends.

The number of dead has risen to over 148, with more bodies being found from the wreckage.

Rescue work was halted at the site during the night because of rain, even as rescuers feared more bodies might be trapped under the S-6 coach.

Around 190 injured people are being treated in different hospitals in Midnapore, Kharagpur, Jhargram and in Kolkata. DNA tests will be conducted on unidentified bodies.

Meanwhile, the West Bengal Police last night gave out details of the rail attack saying it was a Maoist attack. The Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee and the her bitter rivals - the CPM-led government - got into a no-holds barred fight on Saturday on who was to blame for the attack.
