BJP leaders claim that in the picture taken from Lal Chowk in Srinagar, the Tiranga has been hoisted at the Ghantaghar there.
The claim is false and baseless on the basis of facts. Below is a clear comparison of the blog photo (left) and the viral photo (right).
Also, recent images of Lal Chowk show that the area has changed over the years.

Hence, an old, morphed image is being shared to claim that the national flag is hoisted above the clock tower in Lal Chowk, Srinagar.
BJP leader Kapil Mishra tweeted a fake photo, the claim of ‘Tiranga at Lal Chowk’ proves to be fake, the photo posted on his tweet is a miracle of photoshop.
