# 13 Bidar daily wagers killed on NH-65 in 4 years as local jobs dry up 2026-08-14T04:40:53+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Six migrant workers from Bidar died on Tuesday night when a speeding tanker hit their autorickshaw on NH-65 near Zahirabad, Telangana. This was the latest in a string of accidents that have killed 13 daily wagers from Bidar South constituency in four years while returning from Telangana. Twelve of the dead were women. Villagers blame the absence of regular local employment under the VB-GRAM G scheme, saying they are forced to travel to neighbouring states for higher wages of Rs 500, 800 a day against the scheme’s Rs 382. A local panchayat member alleged job cards of 700 out of 800 registered workers had been cancelled. Minister Eshwar Khandre said officials must create local opportunities, while the zilla panchayat CEO promised to investigate complaints of denied work. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Tags: Bidar, daily wagers, migrant workers, NH-65 accidents, Telangana, VB-GRAM G Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/13-bidar-daily-wagers-killed-on-nh-65-in-4-years-as-local-jobs-dry-up/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
