Chandigarh, June 17

A distressing footage of a boy from north Bihar district of Darbhanga amid Agnipath protest has gone viral on the social media.

The boy says “darr lag raha hai” as he wipes his eyes and nose with the hem of his shirt.

The little boy is on board his school bus, which got stuck in a traffic snarl caused by protests against the Agnipath army recruitment scheme in Bihar.

A group of school children can be seen inside the bus and the video shows a woman, probably a teacher or a parent, assuring the children that they will not be harmed.

The veracity of the video could not be ascertained although widespread violence during the protests, which has entered the third day, may have evoked fear in the minds of the people.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
