It is believed that most of the passengers attempted to swim to shore as the water bus sank close to the riverbank. Four units of the local fire department are conducting rescue work. Four bodies have been recovered so far. Police said seven people have been rescued and sent to hospitals. CGTN/AMSP.LINK
