A fierce fight over food packets between passengers of a special migrants’ train at a station in Bihar is being widely shared on social media. The video was reportedly filmed today in Katihar, around 300 km from state capital Patna.The tragic visuals have raised questions about railways’ claims of ensuring social distancing while running the special migrant trains during the lockdown to slow the spread of coronavirus in the country.The incident allegedly took place at Katihar Junction, when a train arrived from Delhi and stopped en route to Purnia. In the clip, a group of men start snatching food packets from a man who was apparently distributing them. Many of them are wearing masks, but the physical blows defeat the purpose, which is to prevent the spread of the highly contagious virus.
