According to a report in Dainik Bhaskar, the video shows female workers of the National Health Mission (NHM), Bhopal celebrating women’s day. The report says that the video has drawn criticism since the women neither followed social distancing norms nor had they worn masks. NHM MD Chavi Bharadwaj said that the event was held in the conference hall due to COVID. The local administration has clarified that the celebrations were held on March 8 and the video is being circulated with misleading claims.
ETV Bharat Haryana also reported NHM’s statement that the event was held for entertainment purpose.
A video of women employees of National Health Mission, Madhya Pradesh dancing on women’s day celebrations was shared by several Congress members with the false claim that the video depicts a meeting on coronavirus pandemic.
