  • Fact Check: Ironic image of damaged street in front of 'Department of Roads' is NOT from India India Today Fact Check found that this picture is from Nepal. Listen to Story India Today Fact Check This image is not from India but from Nepal. A photo of an unpaved waterlogged road allegedly in front of an Indian “Department of Roads” building was filed under irony and shared widely online. An X user wrote, “Department of roads. It happens only in India.” Its archive can be seen here. Many who shared the photo also tagged Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari on X. India Today Fact Check found that this image is from Nepal, not India. Our Probe We noticed that many people reacting to the viral image claimed it was from Nepal. Next, we reverse searched it with relevant keywords and found it in a March 4 report published on the Nepali news portal “Bizness News”. Per this report, the image was first shared by an X user called Deependra Chaulagai, who shared this photo on March 3 and wrote in Nepali, “Road department sir! The pressure to travel here!” We noticed that several people congratulated Chaulagai saying that the picture he shared had become world famous, to which he replied with the folded hands emoji. On March 4, Chaulagai also shared a press release issued by the Road Division in Kathmandu. It mentioned that after the devastating earthquake of 2015, the office of the Department of Roads had to be shifted to Chakupat, Lalitpur. Later, in 2023, it was re-shifted to its old building in Babar Mahal, Kathmandu. According to a report by Nepali news website “ratopati.com”, the contract for the Road Department building’s renovation did not include the work of repairing the road in the premises. Another report stated that the road became muddy because of rains. India Today also contacted Nepal-based journalist Nakul Aryal, who confirmed that this photo showed the Road Department compound in Kathmandu’s Babarmahal. He also sent us the latest image and video of the Road Department compound. It can be seen below. Thus, it’s clear that an image of a damaged road from Nepal was falsely shared as Indian.
