Officials told the Asian News International (ANI) agency that 21 of the 41 passengers on board were rescued. Authorities have so far identified the remains of 11 victims.
The incident comes just weeks after a similar tragedy in the western state of Rajasthan, where 19 people lost their lives when a private bus caught fire.
