The book cited here was published toward the end of 2009 by an Indian publisher. Authors (primarily N. Malathy, a New

The problem is some of the death tolls lack the exact precise number, and are given figures like 30+ to reflect the minimal deaths. Unless whole numbers are given to every figure (which is not always possible) then the sorting application will not work properly. So it is not feasible.
