Rescuers recovered 16 bodies from the site of the collapsed Rana Plaza Saturday morning while clearing the rubble using heavy machinery, taking the death toll up to 547.
Of the bodies, 407 were handed over to their families.
The authorities concerned have already handed over 407 bodies to their relatives, 70 bodies are still lying at a nearby school ground while some more are kept in morgues of different hospitals for identification.
No survivors were found after the army rolled out heavy equipment five days into the collapse on April 24.
The eight-storey building, which housed five garment factories, a shopping mall and the branch of a private bank, caved in a day after a number of its pillars and floors developed cracks.
Rescuers said they believe unaccounted for and decomposing bodies remain buried under the collapsed building, which will be uncovered as they go deeper into the rubble.
The stench of decomposing bodies is increasing day by day and rescuers have been forced to use facemasks and spray air-fresheners to block out the smell.
General Officer Commanding of the 9th Infantry Division Major General Chowdhury Hasan Sarwardy, who is in charge of coordinating the rescue operation, said so far 2,870 people were pulled out alive or dead from the ruins of the commercial complex.
Of them, 2,437 were rescued alive, he said at a press briefing here earlier on Thursday.
Rana Plaza collapsed at 8:45am on April 24 trapping thousands of garment workers.
On April 24 at 8:45am, the eight-storey Savar building housing five garment factories, a branch of Brac Bank and a shopping mall collapsed, trapping several thousand people, mostly garment workers, under the rubble.
The frantic search and rescue operation, however, is on-going as the rescuers have been using heavy equipment to remove slabs of concrete from the site.
Trained dogs are being used to trace the dead.
Locals and relatives of missing victims believe that a large number of decomposed bodies are still stuck inside the demolished building.
