Noida: Noida: A viral video by an Instagram influencer with the username @just_happie, claiming that crowds at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Jewar airport inauguration were “paid” or arranged, has reportedly been withheld in India. 

In the viral clip, the influencer is seen showing buses and claiming that students from institutions across Greater Noida were transported to the venue.

“At the inauguration of India's biggest international airport in Jewar, so many devotees of Modi ji have taken their precious time to gather to see him. If you feel like this too, you are wrong. The crowd you see here is not natural but made up.

"All the school and college students of Greater Noida have been brought here. In fact, even my college students will get two whole days of free attendance. I don’t know how many beneficiaries have been reported. After coming here, I want to say one thing to Modiji, there is so much traffic in 29-degree temperature and food being given is Parle biscuit,” the influencer alleged in the video.

At the same time, videos of students from Galgotias University alleging “free attendance” for attending the event are also going viral.

Vartha Bharathi could not independently verify the authenticity of the video.

Reacting to the viral clip, several users on X questioned the arrangements and intent behind the event.

One user asked, “Is Modi on duty or off duty during the inauguration? Is this event paid for by taxpayers? Why do we need to waste taxpayer money on useless inaugurations to promote BJP Modi?”

Another wrote, “Join the rally for one day and bunk college for two days. So basically, three days of education have been wasted for a political rally.”

A third user commented, “the world is on the edge of a global crisis and this man is doing publicity,” while another quipped, “Mobile phones will not be allowed from next event!”

Another post questioned why students were allegedly mobilised despite the party having a large organisational base.

Earlier, a screenshot purportedly from a faculty member also went viral, claiming that attendance was mandatory for students on March 28, 2026, and that buses had been arranged from the campus to take them to the airport inauguration. The message further stated that two days’ attendance would be granted for attending the event.

Separately, Congress leader Supriya Shrinate shared a screenshot allegedly sent to media personnel invited for the event. “I am told this message has been shared with the media, which has been invited for the inauguration ceremony of the Jewar airport. What is Mr Modi so scared of?” she wrote.

The screenshot outlined certain protocols, including restrictions such as no OB vans, prohibition on black clothing, and a ban on live streaming, while instructing media to arrive at the venue by 9:00 AM.

In another viral video, a man is seen showing buses lined up near Galgotias University, alleging that students were being transported to the venue due to low public turnout.

 

 

Meanwhile, in a subsequent post, the influencer said, "as you know that video has been deleted, and on this topic this is my last video. Honestly I did not want to do this video as well, because for the past 60-70 days I have been consistently posting videos daily, and it involves very much hard work. And I don't want to obviously get my channel banned. That video was made only for vlog purpose.”

“Mainly, nation’s interest is first, nothing is bigger than the nation. I did not say anything against any political party or individual. I only pointed out about a lack of management at the event. However, after that social media users started calling me anti-national, congressi and other things,” she said.

She further stated, ' I reiterate once again, my fight is not against any political party, but it's my responsibility to question the party that I voted for. That's why it's also important to question the government equally.”

“I would like to say I need development and safety. We need clean air and clean water. We want the growth and beauty of our country. After this, I will ensure that I don't upload any videos on this topic,” she added.

Meanwhile, several other X accounts and Instagram handles that allegedly posted content critical of the government were also restricted.

According to reports, parody accounts like @DrNimoYadav, @ Nehr_who, @indian_armada satirical handles like @ mrjethwani_and @Doc_RGM. Commentator and activist Sandeep Singh's account were also withheld.

Videos of users sharing their experiences are also doing rounds on social media.

Mumbai (PTI): The Maharashtra government has set up a State Vaccination Task Force to strengthen the regular immunisation programme and review the progress of related campaigns, a health department official said on Monday.

The State Vaccination Task Force will comprise at least 29 members and will be headed by the administrative head of the health department, he informed.

The government has also constituted separate district-level and municipal vaccination task forces to improve implementation and address challenges at the grassroots level, he said.

Municipal task forces, chaired by respective civic commissioners, have been constituted in view of the vast urban population in Maharashtra and the role of civic bodies in implementing different health programmes.

The district-level task forces will function under the chairmanship of collectors.

"Complete immunisation of children at the appropriate age is an extremely simple, cost-effective and highly effective measure to reduce child mortality and the prevalence of diseases among kids. Immunisation is a powerful tool for reducing illness in children," maintained the official.

To ensure full vaccination of all children, the state government implements various campaigns from time to time as per the central government guidelines, he pointed out.

"Active participation and cooperation of other relevant government departments are essential (in making these campaigns successful)," according to the official.

The state-level body will review the regular immunisation programme, associated campaigns and vaccine-preventable diseases in detail. It will also conduct focused assessments of high-risk districts and municipal corporations, including vacancies at district, municipal and sub-district levels, availability of cold chain equipment, resource gaps and training requirements, he noted.

The state task force will review allocation and utilisation of funds for immunisation and ensure timely action by officers concerned based on reports from district and municipal task forces and state-level monitoring mechanisms, the official said.

It will also ensure active coordination and participation of other government departments in immunisation drives, while district and municipal task forces will carry out similar functions at their respective levels, the official added.
