Responding to reports that had circulated earlier in the day, the IAF took to social media to debunk the claims. “#Fakenews. Multiple social media posts have reported about a fire incident at Air Headquarters, Vayu Bhavan, in New Delhi. It is hereby informed that no such fire incident has taken place in Air Headquarters, Vayu Bhavan, or its immediate vicinity,” the IAF stated.
The Delhi Fire Services had, in fact, confirmed a separate fire incident involving waste at a construction site near the Janpath roundabout on Sunday. However, that fire was promptly contained, and no injuries were reported. The IAF’s swift statement serves as a reminder to verify information before sharing it on social media platforms and to rely only on official sources for accurate news updates.
