A pamphlet was distributed at Dharamshala cantonment on Friday alleging that a Brigadier and his wife were ill-treating the troops and their families, in an alleged bid to tarnish the officer's reputation and lower the Army's morale. After the pamphlet was given to the Army troops, a picture of the handout was also spread extensively on WhatsApp and Facebook in the Army circles, they said. Army sources described the details mentioned in the pamphlet as "blatant lies with not even an iota of truth". The sources also clarified the charges that no medical facilities were provided to the families of the troops. The Army quickly responded to the misinformation campaign on social media and trashed it in the cyber domain.
