Earlier, the UP government gave a go-ahead to Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's request to run 1,000 buses for migrant workers.
The state government's office has sent a letter to the Congress leader seeking details of the buses and about their drivers.
Priyanka wrote a letter to Yogi Adityanath earlier seeking his permission to provide 1,000 buses to transport migrant labourers back to their homes.
She had sent the letter following a road accident in Auraiyya which claimed lives of 26 labourers.
