NEW DELHI—At least 14 Indian migrant workers stranded without work, sleeping on the train tracks due to the COVID-19 pandemic, were ran over and killed by a train on Friday, while apparently attempting to return to their home villages, the railway ministry and media said.
Tens of thousands of people have been walking home from India’s big cities after losing their jobs because of a lockdown to contain the spread of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus, since late March.
