District Hospital Dr Somprakash Yadav said the incident occurred around 7.45 pm  on Monday. “We received information that about 10-15 people were buried in the mud… We initially rescued the four people who came… After that, others who were coming were all already on the verge of death. We tried to give them CPR and other emergency services, but nothing could be done because they had been buried in the mud for at least an hour and a half. After that, seven dead bodies came, making a total of 11 people… Four people are currently undergoing treatment, one of whom has asked to be referred to Jaipur…”
