Patna: Twenty-five
villagers from Jharkhand, among them women and children, were
killed and nine others injured in Bihar's Aurangabad district
Thursday when the truck they were travelling in overturned, police
said.
The condition of two of the nine injured was stated to be critical
at hospital, Aurangabad Superintendent of Police Daljeet Singh
told IANS over telephone. "The driver lost control of the truck
due to bad (condition of) the road and the fog," he said.
More than 40 people, comprising of labourers and their families,
were travelling on the truck when it overturned into a roadside
ditch near Titai Bigha village in Aurangabad, about 150 km from
here, the official said.
All those killed were residents of villages in Palamu and Latehar
district of Jharkhand and were returning home after harvesting
crops in Bihar's Kaimur district.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar directed the district magistrate
and the superintendent of police to investigate the accident.
"Taking a serious note of casualties of labourers in this
accident, the chief minister has ordered ban on ferrying labourers
on trucks in the state," an official of the Chief Minister's
Office (CMO) said.
The state government has announced a compensation of Rs.50,000 to
kin of all victims.
