Claim: A fake hospital ward was created at Leh for PM Modi's staged photo-op of meeting injured jawans.
Fact-check: No, a fake hospital ward was not created for PM's visit to Leh Military Hospital. - FACTLY
Verdict: no, the hospital ward in the photo was not created for pm modi's visit. the same ward can be seen in the pictures taken when indian army chief general mm naravane met injured soldiers at leh military hospital on 23 june 2020. in a press release, the indian army clarified that 'the hall which otherwise was normally used as a training audio video hall was converted into a hospital ward ever since the hospital was also designated as covid treatment hospital'. also, the posted picture of ms dhoni was taken when he visited the army general hospital back in august 2019. hence the claim made in the post is false.
