Twenty-two of the pilgrims were killed, while the two others - Santoshbai (60) and Tejkaran Choudhry (25) - went missing.
"No clues are available about the missing persons," Indore collector P Narhari told PTI.
Santoshbai was among the pilgrims, while Tejkaran was included in the team as a cook. They hail from rural areas of Indore and Dhar districts.
The pilgrims left for the tour on May 12.
