India News : Two weeks after flashfloods and landslides devastated Uttarakhand, there was no clarity on the death toll with state Assembly Speaker Govind Singh Kunjwal claiming on Saturday that it may cross 10,000 while Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde pegged it at 900.
Kunjwal claimed in Almora that the death toll can cross 10,000. "Earlier when I returned from a tour of Garhwal region I believed the casualty figure could be 4,000 to 5,000. But now as per my information and bodies being seen by the people, I can say the figure can cross the 10,000 mark," he said. In Mumbai, Shinde said, "According to my information, last night the toll was 900."
Chief Minister Vijay Bahuguna, who has stated that over 1,000 people may have perished in the calamity, trashed Kunjwal's claim, saying it is incorrect and that true figures will come out once the debris have been cleared.
