While adults are trying to strike a balance between their personal and professional lives while working from home, young kids are also having to deal with classes that stretch for long hours.
Speaking of which, a 6-year-old girl from Jammu and Kashmir has raised concerns over the issue and has appealed to PM Modi to take appropriate action. Aurangzeb Naqshbandi, a journalist, shared her video on Twitter.
In the video the girl can be heard saying:

She further says that kids her age are being loaded with work that students of the 6th-7th standard are given.
After the girl’s video went viral, Manoj Sinha, Lt. Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, responded to her appeal and said:
Her cuteness and her innocence caught the internet’s attention too and here’s what people on social media had to say about this issue:
