Quake survivors complain over delay in aid

THE death toll in India passed 600 last night after rescue workers and soldiers pulled out 90 more bodies in the frontier Tangdar region, 65 miles north of Srinagar, the summer capital of India’s Jammu-Kashmir state.

Most of the deaths were in the border towns of Uri, Tangdar and Punch and Srinagar, where the quake collapsed houses and buildings.

On the Indian side of Kashmir, hundreds of mud-and-stone homes were destroyed or buried under heaps of mud.
