PATNA: At least seven migrant workers from Bihar were killed after they were trapped under a maize bagging machine that collapsed at the Rajguru Foods Godown in Karnataka’s Vijayapura city on Monday evening.
CM Nitish Kumar on Tuesday expressed grief over the death of migrant workers from the state and announced ex gratia of Rs two lakh to the next kin of each of the deceased. "The ex gratia amount will be paid from the chief minister relief fund," a communique issued from the chief minister’s office said.
