The toll could rise further as over 50 passengers were travelling in the buses, which was triggered by a cloudburst, they said.
"Forty-six bodies have been recovered, and of these 23 have been identified," an official said. Rescue operations were suspended late evening as there were apprehensions of more landslides, he said. The work would resume today.
