At least 36 people were killed in Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir on Wednesday when a passenger bus skidded off a mountainous road and plunged down a rocky slope, police said.
The accident took place on a remote mountain road in the Doda area, about 200 kilometres (124 miles) southeast of the region’s capital Srinagar.
“The bus tumbled down the mountain some 250 metres (800 feet).”
More than 25 people were also injured in the crash, Gupta said.
Police said they feared the death toll could rise, with many badly injured.
