A day after some 'inappropriate' posts were reposted by the India Meteorological Department's (IMD) Regional Weather Forecasting Centre, the weather department on Sunday said its X account was hacked and the matter was under investigation.
PTI brought the issue to the IMD's attention on Saturday evening.
Following this, the IMD deleted the reposts and began a probe.
In a statement issued on Sunday, the IMD said that RWFC New Delhi's X handle was 'hacked' on Saturday and some 'inappropriate posts were made'.
"Corrective actions taken to remove those posts. Matter is being further investigated," it said. -- PTI
