SUKKUR: Four dead bodies, including a woman’s, were found stuck at four gates of the Sukkur Barrage on Thursday.

The barrage administration officials said that after spotting the bodies they informed police who, along with a rescue team, retrieved two bodies from gate-40, one from gate-41 and the fourth one from gate-60.

Police officials said that they handed over the bodies to Edhi volunteers for giving them proper burial. “We believe the bodies have floated here from some remote area as they could not be identified immediately,” they said.
