Patna: A heart wrenching video of a child playing beside the dead body of its mother, at a station in Bihar has gone viral.

The clip is from a station in Muzaffarpur in Bihar, where the woman had arrived in a special train for migrants on Monday, reports NDTV.

It is said that heat and inadequate food may have been the reason of the death of the woman, who had boarded train from Gujarat and collapsed shortly after the train reached Muzaffarnagar station.

What is to be noted is that a two-year-old child too had died at the same station, but the child’s family had reached the station in a different train.

In the video, the little child is seen pulling the blanket covering the body of the mother. Though the shroud comes off the mother doesn’t move.

Lakhs and lakhs of migrant workers have been left in lurch after the lockdown was announced in the country in March.

However, many migrants, who have been left to fend for themselves have made desperate attempts to reach their native villages and in this bid, many have lost their lives.

Earlier this month, the government started special trains to take migrants home, but many point at the shortcoming as the migrants are made to run from pillar to post to avail the facility.
