Claim: The video shows visuals of snow-filled roads in Haryana's Barwala.
Fact-check: An old video is being falsely shared as visuals of snowfall in Haryana - FACTLY
Verdict: there are no news reports of any snowfall in barwala, haryana, neither in the past nor currently. an extended version of the viral video is on the internet from march 2020. dainik bhaskar reported news of a hailstorm in haryana's barwala in march 2020. a photo in that report matches the visuals of the viral video. a few social media posts from march 2020 by a local journalist, media outlets etc., contain videos of the hailstorm that occurred around the same time. contrary to the viral post's claim, all these news reports or social media posts show a hailstorm but not a snowfall. hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
