A video is being shared on Facebook with the claim that it shows people of Ahmedabad coming onto the streets due to lack of rations. But FACTLY has found the video to be related to Hyderabad. The video was shot at Tolichowki (Hyderabad) when migrant workers stuck in Telangana, due to lockdown, have come onto the streets asking the State government to send them to their native places. Earlier, when the same video got viral with a different claim, FACTLY has written a fact-check article, which can be read here.
