According to officials, the bus was carrying 30 to 35 passengers and was travelling from Rohtak in Haryana to Ghumarwin when disaster struck. A large section of the hillside suddenly gave way, sending tonnes of mud and rocks crashing down on the moving vehicle.
Rescue teams described a grim scene at the site. “The whole mountain came crashing down on the bus. The chances of survival are bleak,” said a police officer involved in the operation.
