An economic cost loss of Rs 25,000 crore in businesses and properties is estimated during riots in Northeast Delhi that have taken at least 42 lives.

Initial estimates by the Delhi Chamber of Commerce project that the total economic cost of the violence in Delhi will add up to nearly Rs 25,000 crore.

The Delhi Police has registered 167 FIRs and arrested or detained 885 people in connection with the northeast Delhi violence.

Meanwhile, Delhi Police officials on Sunday said they have recovered three more bodies from drains in two different parts of the riot-hit district.

While one was recovered from a canal in Gokalpuri, two were found in Bhagirathi Vihar canal. This takes the recorded number of deaths in Delhi to 45.
