500 buses ferrying migrants from Raj stuck at Uttar Pradesh border
As many as 500 buses, arranged by Congress party to ferry migrants from Alwar in Rajasthan to Uttar Pradesh, are stranded at the Bahaj inter-state border as they did not get the permission from the UP government to enter into the state, party leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said on Sunday
Lucknow: As many as 500 buses, arranged by Congress party to ferry migrants from Alwar in Rajasthan to Uttar Pradesh, are stranded at the Bahaj inter-state border as they did not get the permission from the UP government to enter into the state, party leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said on Sunday.
She said the Uttar Pradesh government has refused to grant permission for the buses ferrying labourers. In a tweet, Gandhi said, "A number of labourers are stuck at the borders of UP.
They are moving on foot, and today they are made to stand for hours. They are not allowed to come inside (the state). They are without jobs for the past 50 days, and their livelihood has come to a standstill."
In another tweet, the Congress general secretary said, "Mere announcements and doing petty politics in the name of sending labourers home will not do.
More trains should be run, buses should be run. We have sought permission to run 1,000 buses, allow us to serve (the people)."
