Update:
According to a couple of eyewitnesses, the actual toll of the blasts could be as high as 1000, though it is unconfirmed. It appears that 50 karmacharis and officials were killed in the station alone, and that their names have been put up.
The above figure is shocking, because it is very much plausible, considering the speed of the automatic rifles, and the dense crowds in CST and the population in the restaurants and hotels. Also, operations have been going on for nearly 3 days, and no one knows how many were killed in the hotels.
Our wretched rulers were upset for the first time ever after an attack and made slightly more noises, which strongly suggests that the above figure is within the realm of possibility.
The government-media figure of ~200 is definitely low, and I suspect that the toll could be much higher. Obviously this dastardly misinformation is spread to prevent "majority retaliation".
