Home > News Shots > India newsIn a sad and shocking case, six migrant workers were run over by an Uttar Pradesh government bus in Muzaffarnagar district on late Wednesday night at around 11:00 pm.

Soon after this news went viral, former UP chief minister Akhilesh Yadav took to social media and said, "Deep grief over the painful death of migrant workers in the Muzaffarnagar bus accident in Uttar Pradesh.
First train and now bus accident, why the lives of workers are so cheap? Can not the poor of the country come via Vande Bharat Mission? It is not right to fly so high that the truth on the ground is ignored."
This tragic accident comes days after 16 migrant workers were killed after a cargo train ran over them while they were sleeping on the tracks in Maharashtra's Aurangabad.
