One report says the Bhote Koshi flood has led to 1,451 bodies being recovered and 3,283 DNA samples collected. [1]
Another report gives a different tally, saying 1,436 bodies were recovered and 1,292 were disposed of after DNA collection. [2]
The two reports disagree on the latest totals, so the figures should be treated as attributed counts rather than confirmed final numbers. [1][2]
