On December 3, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Chennai to take
stock of the damage caused by the worst floods the city has seen in
over 100 years.

Narendra Modi ✔ @narendramodi
We are all pained by the devastation in TN. Took stock of the damage,
on the ground & through an aerial survey.

During his visit, the Press Information Bureau, official media agency
of the government of India, tweeted this photo of PM Modi surveying
the situation from a helicopter.

However, the photo wasn’t authentic. The landscape shown outside the
window had been photoshopped in.

The tweet has since been deleted, but people aren’t happy about it.

Yeh Log ! @yehlog
So @PIB_India posted a photoshopped pic of Modi's aerial survey. Wow.
Photoshopping is now official Govt strategy?
