Families Arrive in Saudi Arabia as Identification Process Begins
In a somber development following the tragic bus accident in Saudi Arabia, thirty-eight family members of the victims have now arrived in the city of Jeddah. Their painful journey comes as authorities work diligently to identify and repatriate the bodies of their loved ones.
Official Coordination and On-Ground Support
A high-level delegation from Telangana, led by Minister Mohammad Azharuddin, is currently stationed in the Gulf country. The team's primary mission is to liaise directly with Saudi authorities to facilitate the handover of the deceased and to oversee funeral arrangements. Their presence is crucial for providing support to the grieving families and ensuring a smooth process during this difficult time.
DNA Profiling Underway for Victim Identification
A critical step in the process is now underway: DNA profiling. This scientific method is being used to accurately identify the victims, a necessary procedure before the bodies can be released to their families for final rites. The process underscores the severity of the accident and the commitment to ensuring that each victim is correctly identified.
The efforts on the ground, coordinated as of 19 November 2025, represent a collaborative attempt to bring a measure of closure to the affected families amidst an unimaginable loss.
