2 MORE BODIES RECOVERED

Two more bodies were recovered from the flash flood-hit areas of Chamoli on Friday, taking the toll in the calamity to 38, as rescue teams battled on against the odds for the sixth consecutive day to get to 25-35 people trapped in a sludge-choked tunnel here. One body was found from the rubble at the demolished Rishi Ganga Hydel Project in Raini and the other from Maithana, district administration officials said.
