“I saw three children
of two to three years dying right in front of me. And I could
do nothing," says Jasbir Kaur from Barnala. She was too
shocked to continue and burst into tears. When people started
running helter-skelter, Jasbir Kaur fell down and people were
running. Just a few metres ahead she saw, two pairs of small
legs moving, as if in terrible pain, and suddenly two children
fell dead on the ground.
