Four more bodies were recovered on Monday from the flood-ravaged Tapovan tunnel in Uttarakhand taking the toll in the glacial disaster to 54. 29 of these bodies have been identified while 25 are yet to be identified, rescue officials said.

Over 150 people still remain missing after the February 7 devastation. A surge of water in Dhauliganga and Rishiganga rivers had ripped through two hydel projects.

Around 30 people, who were at work inside the tunnel when the flashflood occurred, are believed to be trapped inside the tunnel at Tapovan.
