We also found this video on several YouTube channels too with the same claim.
Truth
The video is from Greece, not India
With the help of keyframes from this viral video, we ran a reverse image search on google. During the course of our investigation, we found out that this video was embedded in a news article by daily mail UK.
The article states that this video footage consists of a historic moment when the largest cruise ship passed through the Corinth canal in Greece.The timestamp in this article clearly mentions that this story was published on 11th October 2019.
Therefore the claims made on this viral video were found to be false as this video is not from Gujarat and instead this video belongs to Greece.
Roro Service in Gujarat was started 3 years ago
Ferry service is a first of sorts. Its a dream come true for people of Gujarat. I am also here with regard to a project in dairy sector, a sector to which we have given immense importance over the last two decades.
