Migrant labourers were seen travelling in vehicles used to collect garbage to reach their destination in Siwan, Bihar.

However, Arvind Kumar, the Executive Officer, Siwan said: "Don't assume that the vehicle is (just for collecting) garbage. In a way, it plays an important role in keeping this city clean. All arrangements were made and only then they have been sent."
