The development comes the same day when at least 8 migrant workers were killed and over 56 were injured after the truck in which they were travelling collided with a bus coming from opposite direction in Madhya Pradesh's Guna district.

The incident took place in the intervening night of Wednesday and Thursday.

According to police, the migrant labourers were travelling from Maharashtra to Uttar Pradesh amid lockdown in the country. The tragic accident took place at Guna bypass near UP Dhaba.

Sources said truck was overloaded with migrants and those killed and injured in the accident were travelling in the truck.
