Moments after Pakistan carried out yet another unsuccessful suicide drone attack on Punjab and other bordering states in India, a plethora of videos started circulating on social media. Among the many viral videos, one showcased fire in Jalandhar, and it was linked to a drone crash fired by the Pakistanis. The video was allegedly shared near the CT College of Jalandhar. However, Jalandhar DC Himanshu Aggarwal has fact-checked the viral video.
DC Jalandhar Himanshu Aggarwal, in his official statement, said, "Regarding CT college video..This is an unrelated video. Jalandhar has seen some drones tonight and are being neutralised by Army. This video is at 7.39 pm as can be seen in the display while first drone was sighted near 9 pm. This has been confirmed as a farm fire. Plz dont spread the video."
All schools and universities closed in Punjab
Punjab Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains on Thursday night announced the closure of all schools and colleges in the state for the next three days. Harjot Bains took to his official X handle and announced, "In view of the evolving situation, it is hereby ordered that all Schools, Colleges, and Universities — Government, Private, and Aided — across entire Punjab shall remain completely closed for the next three days."
The decision of schools and colleges' holidays in Punjab came in the backdrop of Pakistan's cowardly drone attacks that targeted multiple districts of Punjab. However, Indian defence system worked swiftly and neutralized all drones in the sky itself, and no casualty was reported.
