A moment of panic and confusion swept through the Indian city of Prayagraj when the slogan “Pakistan Zindabad” unexpectedly appeared on a large LED display board in a busy public area.
The unexpected message, which translates to “Long Live Pakistan,” caught residents and commuters by surprise and quickly became a trending topic on social media.
According to local reports, the LED screen—normally used for advertisements and public service announcements—suddenly began flashing the slogan in bold letters.
Within minutes, bystanders gathered at the site, recording videos and sharing them online. The footage spread rapidly, sparking debates and speculation about how the incident occurred.
Authorities immediately launched an investigation into the matter, suspecting either a technical glitch or a possible hacking attempt. Police teams were deployed to the scene, and the LED board was quickly shut down to prevent further display of the message.
Local officials assured the public that there was no security threat and that the situation was under control. They also stated that cyber experts were assisting in tracing the source of the incident to determine whether it was an act of mischief or a deliberate cyber intrusion.
The unexpected display not only startled residents but also highlighted concerns about digital security and public display management in the country.
The authorities have promised stricter monitoring of such systems to prevent similar incidents in the future.
