No, people did not chant "Chowkidar Chor Hai" when PM Modi visited West Bengal

A 50-second video of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee walking with their security detail is going viral on social media. PM Modi visited West Bengal after Cyclone Amphan devastated the state, to conduct an aerial survey of the damage it caused. As they leave the building, the crowds on the ground can be heard chanting "Chowkidar Chor Hai" (The guard is the thief), a slogan popularised by the Indian National Congress during the 2019 election campaign. Claim 1: "Crowds shouting at Modi "Chowkidar chor hai"...Meaning 'the watchman is a thief'." Claim 2: "ज़बरदस्त स्वागत हुआ कल west बंगाल मे.." Translation: A great welcome in West Bengal yesterday.   Facebook The video was posted by a page called Saa News, with the caption, "#Bengal #visit #Chowkidar chor hai" https://www.facebook.com/365654620545812/videos/1084617205257720/?vh=e (Archived)  

  Another widely shared video was posted by user Anjali Singh Lkw. https://www.facebook.com/suwati.agarwal.1/videos/612061242993660/?t=0 (Archived)  

Twitter User Praecursator's tweet was viewed by over 1,500 times. https://twitter.com/Praecursator007/status/1263930861382250498 (Archived)   https://twitter.com/sultan_azmath/status/1264133772007612416 (Archived)   Truth We used video verification tool, InVid to verify the origins of the video. This video was first posted on the internet on May 22, 2020, which verifies that it is indeed the video of the PM visiting West Bengal for Amphan relief. We also found that the video was first posted by Akashvani Sangbad Kolkata, All India Radio Kolkata's official Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/akasvanisangbadkolkata/videos/255668232210649/?v=255668232210649 The video is captioned as follows - "প্রধানমন্ত্রীর বৈঠক #আকাশবাণীসংবাদকলকাতা বসিরহাটে আজ প্রধানমন্ত্রীর বৈঠক যথেষ্ট ফলপ্রসূ হয়েছে বলে মনে করা হচ্ছে। এদিনের বৈঠকে মুখ্যমন্ত্রী মমতা ব্যানার্জির উপস্থিতিতে প্রধানমন্ত্রী সুপার সাইক্লোনে বিধ্বস্ত পশ্চিমবঙ্গকে ��রুরী ভিত্তিতে এক হাজার কোটি টাকা সাহায্যের কথা ঘোষণা করেন। এছাড়া ঝড়ে নিহতের পরিবার পিছু প্রধানমন্ত্রীর ত্রান তহবিল থেকে দু লক্ষ টাকা দেওয়ার কথা বলা হয়। বসিরহাট কলেজের প্রশাসনিক বৈঠক শেষে প্রধানমন্ত্রী কলকাতা বিমানবন্দর হয়ে ওড়িশার় উদ্দেশ্যে রওনা হয়ে যান। এ দিনের বৈঠকে মুখ্যমন্ত্রী ছাড়াও রাজ্যপাল জগদীপ ধনকার, কেন্দ্রীয় মন্ত্রী বাবুল সুপ্রিয় ও দেবশ্রী চৌধুরী, রাজ্যের মুখ্য সচিব রাজীব সিনহা সহ রাজ্য ও জেলা প্রশাসনের পদস্থ কর্তাব্যক্তিরা উপস্থিত ছিলেন।" Translation: "Meeting of the Prime Minister #AkashvaniSangbadKalkata The Prime Minister's meeting in Basirhat today is believed to have been quite fruitful. In today's meeting, in the presence of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, the Prime Minister announced an emergency aid of Rs 1,000 crore to West Bengal, which was devastated by the cyclone. Besides, the families of the victims of the storm were asked to pay two lakh rupees from the Prime Minister's Relief Fund. After the administrative meeting of Basirhat College, the Prime Minister left for Orissa via Calcutta Airport. Apart from the Chief Minister, Governor Jagdeep Dhankar, Union Ministers Babul Supriya and Debashree Chowdhury, Chief Secretary of the State Rajiv Sinha and other senior officials of the state and district administrations were also present at the meeting."   There are no "Chowkidar Chor Hai" chants in the original video. The crowd can be heard calling "Didi" (CM Mamata Banerjee is also called "Didi" in West Bengal)  and chanting "Jai Shree Ram". We found another video of the incident, taken from a different angle by Bengal Times 24X7, which was broadcasting it live on their Facebook page. In this video too, the crowd chants "Jai Shree Ram", not "Chowkidar Chor Hai".     https://www.facebook.com/bengaltimes24x7/videos/1088459951522318/?v=1088459951522318     Using keywords, we found the audio used in this clip. The "Chowkidar Chor Hai" audio was taken from a BJP rally in Bengaluru, where Karnataka's BJP leaders were campaigning, according to an article by Times of India.   Therefore, the people gathered in West Bengal did not chant "Chowkidar Chor Hai". The audio has been edited onto a recent video of the PM in Bengal. The crowds called out to "Didi" and raised slogans of "Jai Shree Ram" before PM Modi took off in a helicopter.

Kolkata/Bhubaneswar: Packing winds of up to 190 kmph, the extremely severe cyclone Amphan roared into West Bengal Wednesday, dumping heavy rain and leaving a trail of destruction that left at least six people dead, including a three-month-old baby, officials said. Amphan made a fierce landfall at Digha on the Bengal-Odisha border near Sunderban and Hatiya in Bangladesh, cutting a swathe through the coastal areas, flattening fragile dwellings, uprooting trees and electric poles. The landfall, which took place between 2.30 pm and 6.30 pm, witnessed strong winds with speed of 155-165 kmph gusting to 185 kmph and torrential downpour, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said. Video clips showed gigantic tidal waves crashing into a seawall in Digha and thick sheets of rain blurring the coastline in the two states. Initial reports said in several districts of West Bengal, including North 24 Parganas, South 24 Parganas, Hooghly, Howrah, Kolkata, East Midnapore, West Midnapore, Murshidabad and Burdwan, trees and electric poles were uprooted, thatched houses were destroyed and thousands of acres of standing crop got inundated. Several areas in both states were plunged into darkness as electric installations collapsed. Communications networks snapped as telephone towers crumbled. Movement on the roads was seriously disrupted with large trees and electric poles blocking vehicles. The cyclone claimed at least three lives in West Bengal, and three in Odisha. A teenage from Howrah died when she was hit by a flying iron sheet. At Basirhat in North 24 Parganas, a youth named Mahanta Das died after a tree fell on him in his own courtyard. In Minakhan, North 24 Parganas, a woman identified as Nur Jahan Behra died. In Odisha, two people died in cyclone shelters due to ailments and a three-month old child in a wall collapse. West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee remained in the disaster control room during the landfall and oversaw the operations by various agencies deployed on the ground. Flight operations at Kolkata airport were suspended due to adverse conditions. Odisha chief minister Naveen Patnaik and special relief commissioner P.K. Jena were in constant touch with collectors of north Odisha districts. At least 6.58 lakh people were evacuated in West Bengal and Odisha before the cyclone struck.

Cyclone Amphan’s Death Toll Rises to 80 in India and Bangladesh

NEW DELHI — More than 80 people were killed by the powerful cyclone that slammed into India and Bangladesh on Wednesday, wiping out thousands of homes and drenching low-lying areas in torrential rain, officials said on Thursday.

Many of the dead were crushed by falling trees, electrocuted by downed wires or buried inside collapsing buildings as Cyclone Amphan pummeled the region, leaving a wide swath of devastation and grief.

The worst damage was reported in the Indian state of West Bengal, home to the metropolis Kolkata and many small, coastal villages where people live in shacks made from mud and sticks. The storm ripped through there, and though many villagers had evacuated beforehand, as the Indian authorities had urged, some had resisting packing into shelters because they feared the coronavirus.

West Bengal’s chief minister, Mamata Banerjee, one of India’s most powerful women, said she had “never seen such a disaster before.”

“At one end there is this small Covid virus that is terrifying people,” she said in a video conference. “This was another virus from the sky.”

Initially, the Indian authorities believed that a combination of an impressive evacuation effort and the weakening of the storm as it swirled onto land had spared more lives. On Tuesday and Wednesday, as the storm barreled up the Bay of Bengal, emergency crews had plied beach roads, shouting to people through megaphones to leave their homes and go to evacuation shelters. Around three million people in India and Bangladesh heeded the calls and moved to safety.

But Indian police officers had said that some villagers resisted, fearful of being stuck in a closed space with thousands of others at a time when India is struggling to contain the coronavirus contagion. Just this week, the country reported its 100,000th infection; many health experts believe the real numbers are far higher, but hidden because of India’s relatively low rates of testing.

On Thursday, as the day wore on, more stories of death flowed in.

Khanat Begum, a mother in a village in southern Bangladesh, was cooking when a blast of wind uprooted her neighbor’s tree, crashing it through the roof of her home. Her 13-year-old daughter was also inside the house. They both died.

Like many homes in Chandpur village, Ms. Begam’s house has been obliterated. The roads leading to the village were still blocked on Thursday.

“Our village has been reduced to rubble,” said Israar Kamal, a resident of Chandpur.

The cyclone weakened further as it moved into northeastern India on Thursday, with a wind speed of 37 miles per hour. The skies over many of the cyclone-damaged areas were clear.

Many villagers who had fled to cyclone shelters were still inside them; others were beginning to trickle back to their villages, only to find their homes smashed to the ground, scatterings of sticks and clumps of mud.

The authorities said it was too early to assess the full damage. Many areas were still inaccessible because of downed trees and blocked roads.

Among the reported deaths, the authorities said that 10 people had died in Bangladesh and at least 73 in India.

One of the hardest-hit places was the metropolis of Kolkata, one of India’s oldest cities, with around 15 million people in the greater urban area. The authorities said that the cyclone had killed at least 15 people there. On Thursday, its streets were littered with trees, and parked cars bumped into one another as workers struggled to clear the roads.

The eye of Cyclone Amphan had passed nearby, bringing with it 100-mile-an-hour winds and nearly nine inches of rain.

Videos on social media showed inundated airports, uprooted trees blocking roads and water cascading down the stairs of residential buildings. The runway of Kolkata’s airport, one of the busiest airports in India before the nationwide lockdown, was completely underwater and looked like a long pond.

“I was very scared when water started coming into my flat,” said Anushree Hamirwasia, 22, a student in Kolkata.

Mohammed Salah Uddin, 42, said that he and 10 others returned to his village in southern Bangladesh after crisscrossing uprooted trees and electricity wires on the streets. He said that the cyclone shelter he was in had been overcrowded and that people had not maintained a safe distance from one another, despite the threat of the coronavirus. Photographs from other shelters in Bangladesh showed huge crowds of people, few of them wearing masks.

“It looked scary,” Mr. Uddinsaid. “It is better to live in a destroyed home than catch the diseases.”

Belinda Wright, the executive director of the Wildlife Protection Society of India, said there had been serious damage to the ecosystem of the Sundarbans, the world’s largest mangrove forest and a wildlife refuge, home to endangered species including Bengal tigers. The cyclone made landfall very close to the Sundarbans, which stretches across the border of India and Bangladesh along the Bay of Bengal.

Villagers in that area, Ms. Wright said, told her that there wasn’t “a tree standing.”

But the villagers also relayed that no one had been injured in the storm.

“They don’t like leaving their homes,” Ms. Wright said, adding that because they know how “terribly dangerous” cyclones can be, most villagers in that area had followed the instructions to evacuate.

Rescue operations intensified on Thursday across the whole area. Jawhar Sircar, a retired government administrator who lives in Kolkata, said that in his part of the city, the situation was peaceful. Electricity was back on, though essential supplies like vegetables and fruits were still not available because street vendors were unable to move on the roads.

“The mood in Kolkata is like it is all over now,” he said.
