More than 40 Indian nationals are feared dead in Saudi Arabia after a bus carrying Umrah pilgrims collided with a diesel tanker early Monday.
The accident occurred while the bus was travelling from Makkah to Madinah.
Initial reports indicate that many of the victims are women and children from Hyderabad, with unofficial sources suggesting 11 women and 10 children may be among them.
The total number of casualties is still being verified.
The Indian consulate in Jeddah has set up a 24/7 control room. Families can contact the helpline at the toll-free number 800-244-0003.
