#TrishaktiCorps के सैनिकों ने #NorthSikkim के #Lachung स्थित सिंगरिंग गाँव में भीषण आग लगने पर तुरंत कार्रवाई की।

🚨 Trace the Truth
❌ Pakistan-linked propaganda account is circulating fake allegations that the Indian Army launched a crackdown on the Cockroach Party, on the morning of 23 October, leaving 7 youths injured and 2 dead. The Pak account with fake Indian name also falsely suggests that the Indian Army has taken a stand against Gen Z.
✅ The original video is of the security agency personnel handling the hunger strike for Union restoration at Jamia Millia Islamia University on 17 October 2026, during which no casualties were reported.
Original Video 🔗:

♻️ Disinformation Pattern: Misrepresented student protest video + Fake casualty figures + False attribution to Indian Army = Misleading story.
🎯 @GoI_MeitY: The Pak based account spreading this misleading narrative is @indiantiwari011 (backup of withheld account @indiantiwari01).
⚠️ Verify before you amplify.

The post states misrepresentation of facts by combining two unrelated factual information.
CCTV is the part of a planned security modernisation initiative for designated VVIP routes. It is intended to strengthen security and monitoring along these routes.
The mentioned cameras are due for installation and that too for completely different purpose, bearing no relation to the one stated in the post.

🚨 Coordinated Inauthentic Behaviour Exposed
❌ Several Pak based social media handles are simultaneously circulating a fake post featuring a picture of Chief of the Army Staff Gen Dhiraj Seth and relating it with a video of a CAPF function with malicious allegations.
✅ The image is from the COAS’s visit to Nepal and has been misrepresented to spread propaganda.
🔗 Original ANI Link: instagram.com/reel/DcGxzLPEx…

🚨 Trace the Truth
❌ A Pakistan-linked propaganda account is falsely claiming that the Indian Army deliberately set fire to the homes of innocent Kashmiri civilians in Poonch district, portraying the incident as a human rights violation.
✅ FACT: A massive midnight fire broke out in Loran village of Poonch district during the intervening night of 12–13 October 2026, reportedly gutting three residential houses and damaging several shops.
✅ The Indian Army reportedly rushed to assist affected residents following the fire. The allegation that Army personnel deliberately burned civilian homes is contrary to the assistance provided to douse the fire.
