News CLAIM: A Twitter account with the name Gilgit-Baltistan, Ladakh(UT), India is followed by thousands on social media.
Official Twitter page of India's Union Territory Ladakh changes its name to 'Gilgit-Baltistan, Ladakh (U.T), India'
TRUTH & Verification:
The twitter account @GB_Ladakh_India is followed by more than 35000, however, the account is not the official twitter handle of the Indian government. The account does not have a blue tick either.
The PIB issued a notification stating, “Claim: A twitter handle @GB_Ladakh_India claims to be the official account of "Gilgit-Baltistan, Ladakh, UT, India"#PIBFactCheck: It is a #Fake handle. Union Territory of Ladakh has only 2 official Twitter handles ie @DIPR_Leh & @InformationDep4.
