"The police would work harder to identify those unidentified bodies as soon as possible," he said.
The identification process is carried out by steps of analyzing the DNA of the bodies as well as matching the photos or signature marks carried by the victims that fit with the police's documents.
As many as 430 people have been confirmed dead from the tsunami as of Wednesday, according to Indonesia National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB).
The tsunami which was triggered by the eruption of the Anak Krakatau volcano in Sunda Strait has also left 1,495 people injured and 159 others missing.
It has also displaced 21,991 ones, damaged almost 1,000 houses in the affected areas.
Indonesian meteorology, climatology and geophysics agency (BMKG) has issued a warning that a tsunami remains imminent from both volcanic activities and a possible collapse of the volcano's wall which becomes fragile due to frequent eruptions.
Intensive rain around the volcano may lead to the collapse of the wall into the sea that could eventually trigger a tsunami, the agency explained.
