Among the injured, six people were already taken to Kohima for treatment before the medical team which was sent the very next day by Directorate of Health Services could provide any help.
Nine injured people were admitted at JNIMS while three critically injured persons were treated at RIMS.
Dy Speaker Preshow Shimray condoled the victims of the tragic accident and also extended financial assistance to the injured.
He assured assistance to all the victims from the Government.
The bus was on its way back after a marriage party.
He showed his gratitude towards the Directorate of Health Services for providing relief and support to the injured victims.
Meanwhile, N Boy, president ICHAM also condoled the deceased victims.
He said that many precious lives could have been saved if there was proper health care facility in the area.
He added, "though there is a district hospital at Ukhrul, it is more like a non-functioning hospital with no proper medical care facility".
He urged the Government to post doctors and nurses at various PHCs and district hospitals in the hill areas of Manipur.
"The Government should show concern to the people of Manipur not only in words but with actions too".
Pointing out that all the victims belong to Jessami village, Boy said that ICHAM would provide help to the victims.
Willing donors can also donate their help through ICHAM and can be contacted through 8732032963, he added.
