At least 10 people have died and 14 others have been rescued after they were trapped in a major landslide that struck a bus in Himachal Pradesh's Kinnaur today. The bus carrying passengers from Kinnaur to Haridwar along with a few other vehicles have been buried under the debris.

The Himachal Road Transport Corporation (HRTC) bus was carrying over 30 passengers and got buried under the debris along with other vehicles. A few vehicles are feared to have skidded off the road and fallen into the Sutlej River flowing below. The bus was on its way from Reckong Peo in Kinnaur to Haridwar.

Home Minister Amit Shah tweeted that he spoke to Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh Jai Ram Thakur over the accident caused by the landslide in Himachal's Kinnaur. He added that teams are actively engaged in relief and rescue work. "It is the priority of ITBP and local administration to save lives and provide prompt treatment to the injured," he tweeted.
