The Tamil Nadu government’s Fact-check Unit has debunked the rumours claiming that all schools, colleges, and government offices in the state will be closed on Friday. The fake news, which is widely circulating on social media, is generated by artificial intelligence (AI), the officials said, clarifying that all schools in Tamil Nadu will remain open on June 6.
“Prime Minister Modi has declared a national public holiday on Friday (06.06.2025), so all schools, government offices and banks will not function,” the fake news read. In a swift response, the fact-check unit confirmed that no such announcement has been made by the Tamil Nadu government.
