X locks photojournalist Anindya Chattopadhyay's account after smog posts
The platform cited a violation of its rules after the photographer shared images of poor visibility in Delhi.
The X account of Times of India (TOI) photographer Anindya Chattopadhyay was locked after he posted photos and videos of smog in Delhi, according to The Times of India.
The platform cited a violation of its rules for the action. Chattopadhyay had shared footage showing deadly smog and poor visibility around NH9 and Lodhi Garden.
Chattopadhyay said he was doing his duty to show the truth of the post-Diwali situation through his camera. He reported that visibility near NH9 dropped so sharply that he had to park his scooter on the side of the highway.
The photographer noted that at Lodhi Garden, the city's iconic tombs were barely visible through the dense haze. He began uploading the media to his account after observing these conditions.
The Delhi government has denied any involvement in the locking of the account.
