"Forty-six bodies have been recovered, and of these 23 have been identified," an official said.
The massive landslide, covering an area of more than 250 metres, may have swept away some other vehicles also and damaged some houses, an official said This is the third such major incident in Himachal Pradesh since 1988. Earlier 45 bus passengers were buried in a landslide near Matiyana in Shimla district in 1988 while 42 passengers were buried in an incident at Luggar Hati in Kullu district in 1994.
