Bus Carrying Migrant Workers Overloaded in Malkangiri
Imagine a bus trying to carry way too many people, like squeezing a lot of friends into a tiny car.
That's what happened in Malkangiri.
A bus meant for 35 people was carrying 110 migrant workers!
These workers were traveling from one place to another for work.
The people in charge checked the bus because they heard it was too full and unsafe.
They found out it was true, and the bus owner got in trouble.
The government then helped the workers get back to their homes safely.
This is a problem because it's not fair to treat people this way, and it's dangerous.
Officials in Malkangiri district inspected a private bus carrying migrant workers.
The bus, headed to Junagarh from Hyderabad, was found overcrowded with 110 passengers in a 35-seat vehicle.
Many passengers were migrant laborers from various districts, some with families.
The bus owner was penalized for violating safety norms and overloading.
The labor department arranged an alternative bus to return the stranded workers to their villages.
