Rescue workers pulled out the badly injured from the wreckage of the vehicle and sent them to a hospital, Ashutosh Garg, a senior administrator for the district of Kullu in Himachal Pradesh state, told news agency Press Trust of India.
Photos shared on social media showed responders trying to rescue survivors from the mangled hulk of the yellow bus.
