'Tragic' -

"Howsoever excruciating, the families will get the dead bodies after more than three years. This will ideally convey some conclusion to the lamenting families," she said.

A few relatives, be that as it may, reprimanded the administration.

"Throughout the previous four years a similar pastor has been disclosing to me that we have followed their area and they're alive," Gurpinder Kaur, sister of one of the dead laborers, told columnists in Punjab.

"I just heard what the pastor said on TV. I have no other data about it. I am sitting tight for her to get in touch with me yet I don't realize what to believe," she included.

Punjab state's main priest Amarinder Singh portrayed it as "tragic news".

"My heart goes out to the families who had been living in trust since their detailed kidnapping by ISIS in 2014. Petitions with every one of them," he said.

"On the off chance that the legislature didn't have any points of interest, for what reason did they continue telling everybody they are alive? The legislature tricked the general population (families) by giving them false seek after four years," he said.
