On Thursday, PM Narendra Modi made his way to flood-hit Chennai and announced a relief fund of Rs 1, 000 crore.

Press Information Bureau, a state-run outlet which issues official press releases and news updates, tweeted a photo of PM Modi making an aerial survey of flood-hit city and adjoining areas.

The photo showed a seated Modi looking — through the circular window of a chopper — at rooftops and submerged streets with a remarkable clarity.

Except, the same PIB had already tweeted an image earlier which showed Modi surveying the hazy exterior, which apparently showed the submerged expanse of Chennai.

The ever-alert folks on Twitter immediately began asking why the PIB had to tweet a photoshopped image.

An embarrassed PIB promptly deleted the tweet, but has offered no explanation for the blunder so far. The blooper resulted in Twitterati having some good fun at PM’s expense.

Here’re some of the tweets:

So @PIB_India posted a photoshopped pic of Modi's aerial survey. Wow. Photoshopping is now official Govt strategy? https://t.co/7kFaBZG0vw — Yeh Log ! (@yehlog) December 3, 2015
