Bhubaneswar: The Internet had a laugh off and Home Ministry was left red-faced as its official Facebook page showed a picture of whisky bottles and snacks on a table.
The photograph was of other pictures shared on a post on Thursday to highlight the relief work being done by the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) in West Bengal in the aftermath of cyclone Amphan. The other photographs showed NDRF men in orange gear removing an uprooted tree in Deulpur area of Howrah.
The goof-up happened in a moment of confusion by the person handling the page who later apologised for the mistake. “There was a mix-up on personal & MHA Page or perhaps inadvertent page selection. The person handling the handle has apologised in writing. The picture was removed at 9:32 am,” an MHA source was quoted as saying by ‘The New Indin Express’.
The post had also tagged other official pages like PIB India, NDRF, DD BanglaNews with the hashtag ‘Post Amphan Restoration’. The photo was posted at around 9 am and was removed within half an hour after it went viral on social media.
