A doctored photo released by the Indian government showing Prime Minister Narendra Modi surveying severe flooding from a helicopter has been deleted, and his office promised remedial action after criticism on social media.
Modi travelled to Tamil Nadu's capital Chennai on Thursday to get a first-hand view of the disaster, after the strongest rains in a century killed more than 280 people over a month and displaced thousands of residents.
The government's Press Information Bureau published a photo on its website that showed Modi looking through the round window of a helicopter, through which a clear view of waterlogged buildings was visible. It was later taken down.

A similar photograph, but with a blurred view through the window, was posted on Modi's personal Twitter feed (@narendramodi). Commentators on social media accused the PIB of digitally manipulating its version of the picture.Most residents could expect a fair to partly cloudy day ahead
