The rescue workers managed to recover only four-five pieces of bones from another unidentified victim of the deadly fire.
At least 450 people were injured in the fire caused by the explosion at the depot late on Saturday night.
The massive blaze is yet to be doused fully after 66 hours.
Around nine units of the Fire Service and Civil Defence were reportedly working on the scene, while around 250 members of the Bangladesh Army army joined the rescue operations.
Three probe panels, including a nine-member local administration committee, were formed on Sunday to probe the incident.
