At least eight persons were injured when a bus ferrying migrant workers met with an accident with a truck on NH-60 near Dandika under the Basta police station limits on Sunday.
The bus had 40 passengers and it was heading to West Bengal’s Murshidabad, the native place of workers, from Kerala. The injured were admitted in the Basta CHC after being rescued by locals.
Basta PS IIC Manas Deo said, “The stranded passengers would be sent to their native place by another bus.”
Notably, on Saturday, a bus carrying migrant workers en route to Nadia of West Bengal from Kerala had also met with an accident after it overturned near Nuagaon in Baleswar district. Six passengers sustained major injuries.
