In the aftermath of Monday's devastating blast at the Red Fort in New Delhi, families of the victims are struggling to come to terms with the loss of their loved ones. The explosion, which occurred near the Red Fort Metro station, claimed at least 12 lives and left many others injured. As families waited anxiously for news of their missing relatives, they were forced to rely on makeshift identification methods - including tattoos, torn clothing, and personal items. For 34-year-old Amar Kataria, a pharmaceutical businessman from Chandni Chowk, his tattoos were the only proof of his identity after his body was charred beyond recognition. Similarly, Idris, a relative of 35-year-old battery-rickshaw driver Mohammad Zunman, identified his nephew by his blue shirt and jacket, despite having some body parts missing. The blast has left many families devastated, including that of 30-year-old Pankaj Sahni, a cab driver who was the sole earning member of his family. His father, Ram Balak Sahni, identified his body at the LNJP Hospital after a desperate search. The tragedy has highlighted the human cost of the blast, which has left a trail of destruction and heartbreak in its wake. As the city struggles to come to terms with the loss, families are left to pick up the pieces and try to rebuild their lives.
