Political tussle at its peak as bus drivers ferrying migrants stuck at Rajasthan-Uttar Pradesh border

Migrant workers and bus drivers ferrying migrants seemed to have gotten entangled in a political dogfight. Drivers faced trouble as they had to wait without food and water till late at night at the Rajasthan-Uttar Pradesh border in Bharatpur.

Bharatpur: Political tussle around sending buses for migrants continues as drivers of around 500 buses were stopped at the Rajasthan-Uttar Pradesh border in Bharatpur- waiting to enter Uttar Pradesh late Tuesday.

Drivers faced trouble as they had to wait without food and water till late at night.

The administration claimed that the meal and drinking water arrangements have been made for the drivers.

When ETV Bharat reached the spot at 10 pm, the ground reality was shocking and on the contrary side.

Rais Khan, who brought the bus from Alwar, told that he had his last meal in the morning.

"Officials have told that we will get food but it's night and we still are waiting," told Khan.

Visibly upset with the confusion at the border, another bus driver told that they don't even have access to clean drinking water.

The buses have been brought to ferry migrants living in Rajasthan to their homes in UP. However, the UP government is yet to provide permission for the buses to enter its borders.
