The person further added that the bus passengers were taken to the district hospital in Kupwara, alleging that an ambulance did not arrive at the scene despite trying to call them repeatedly.

He added, "We took them to JMC Kupwara, we tried calling the ambulance 50 times, no one came, so we got a private car and sent them to JMC Kupwara."
