After 300 bodies were cremated together on Wednesday, another batch of 300 bodies was cremated Thursday.
National Disaster Management Authority vice chairman N. Shashidhar Reddy said DNA samples of all the bodies have been taken. He did not have the number of bodies cremated.
With many bodies still buried under the debris, NDRF teams have been asked to assist the local administration to recover the bodies, Reddy said.
The union health ministry has stated that no disease outbreak has been reported from any part of Uttarakhand.
Three public health teams have been posted to Uttarakhand and eight additional teams have been kept on standby, a senior health ministry official said.
