Kushinagar: At least twelve migrant labourers were injured after a bus they were travelling in to reach their native place in Bihar collided with a truck in Uttar Pradesh's Kushinagar on Sunday, the police said.
The incident took place near a petrol pump in Patherwa on NH-28. The injured were immediately rushed to Tamkuhi health centre, where eight severely injured people were referred to the district hospital.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had on Saturday directed district authorities not to allow migrants to travel by unsafe means and to ensure that they are transported in buses after 26 workers who were returning to their homes died in a truck-trailer collision in Auraiya.
