The Press Information Bureau has warned citizens and media organisations against sharing unverified videos and claims about Chinese military activity along the Line of Actual Control. It advised relying on updates from the Ministry of Defence and the Indian Armed Forces. The warning follows social media posts claiming to show People’s Liberation Army personnel near the border. Officials said the visuals had not been verified and should not be treated as authentic. The PIB also urged social media platforms to remove misleading content. In an earlier case, its Fact Check unit rejected a claim that Chinese troops had entered 60 kilometres into Indian territory, saying the accompanying videos were unrelated to the border.
