On Tuesday morning, a makeshift vehicle transporting children to school overturned after a collision with a car near Mehal Ghumana village in Ludhiana district, Punjab, India. The vehicle was carrying nearly 15 children of migrant labourers to a government school in Bhupana village. Following the collision, several children were thrown from the vehicle, resulting in injuries, with at least three children suffering fractures. Local residents quickly transported the injured to a nearby private hospital, where they received treatment. The driver, Mahinder Singh, also sustained injuries. Parents of the injured children gathered at the hospital, demanding accountability from the car driver and highlighting the lack of safe transport options in the area. They noted that many families rely on unsafe vehicles due to financial constraints, paying around ₹300 (roughly $3.60 USD) per month per child for transport to the school located nearly 3 km away. Local police have launched an investigation into the incident and are working to trace the car involved in the collision.
