ISLAMABAD:
A recovery operation on Margalla Hills is underway as the country mourns the plane crash that killed all 152 on board on Wednesday.
A day after the tragic plane crash in Islamabad, 52 bodies - out of the total of 130 - have been handed over to the families.
Pims Hospital administration has already sent three bodies to Karachi and three to Rawalpindi, Attock, Wah Cantt and Gilgit while 82 have been shifted to various morgues. Emergency cells have been set up at the Abpara Community Centre.
Till now only 50 bodies have been identified.
According to sources, the helicopter service will resume as soon as the weather clears. Heavy rainfall and bad weather conditions are also hampering efforts in the flood hit areas across the country.
Investigators are continuing their hunt for the crashed jet's black box flight recorders, which they hope will give clues as to what caused the disaster.
Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani has declared a national day of mourning today and ordered national flags to fly at half-mast.
While speaking at Pims Hospital, Interior Minister Rehman Malik said that all types of services have been provided to help identify the plane crash victims.
