As hopes of finding more survivors are receding, rescuers dug out 29 more bodies since Thursday night as the toll in the Malin landslide disaster rose to 70 late Friday evening.
Even as the rescuers are braving hostile weather and difficult terrain for the third day to look for signs of life under the mound of debris at Malin village in Pune, Suresh Talekar, a Pune-based activist has charged the agriculture department officials of culpable homicide, and has filed a complaint at the Ghodegaon police station.
