In the past two weeks, more than twenty bodies of unknown people have been recovered at the Sukkur Barrage site in the Indus River. After the operation, they have been handed over to the Edhi Center, who have been buried in the local cemetery. On information from the authorities, some bodies are removed, while if no one sees, some bodies are left to drift downstream.
Such complaints have also been received, but the barrage administration says that when the information reaches them from the citizens or from any source that dead bodies are stuck around the gates of the barrage, they are immediately informed to the police. SSP Sukkur Sangar Malik says that the dead bodies which are removed from the water are unidentifiable, but despite this, the police tries to keep a record through the Edhi Center.
Apart from this, there are some dead bodies which are thrown into the water by the Hindu community as part of religious rituals which are not recovered, sources say, which raises the question that every year from the Sukkur Barrage and different places of the Indus River. The dead bodies found are of humans, but most of them have no identity, where do these bodies come from, how did they get washed into the water.
To which the administration still has no answer, sometimes the police and other administrations also give the impression that people go missing as a result of landslides and other various incidents after rains and floods in the upper regions of the country. People can also die in rural areas, but most of the time their families do not appear as heirs.
