BAGH, Oct 11: The bodies of quake victims in the Bagh district of Azad Kashmir are being buried in mass graves. Local people said there were too many bodies to be buried separately.

A villager, Ismail Meer, told the BBC he had buried eight girls, including his four daughters, in one grave. Another person said that 25 funerals had taken place in two days and every survivor had been burying his relatives.

Another person, Raja Habib, said he had buried almost 90 bodies in his natives village.—Online
