The Press Information Bureau checked facts and announced that the news was fake in a post with a "Fake News" alert. A circular quoting National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) stated that it had called for another lockdown from September 25. Press Information Bureau said the order in circulation was fake, and that NDMA had not issued any such order to re-impose lockdown. Claim: An order purportedly issued by National Disaster Management Authority claims that it has directed the government to re-impose a nationwide #Lockdown from 25th September. @ndmaindia has not issued any such order to re-impose lockdown.
