The big news last night was the successful rescue of the 41 workers stuck in Uttarakhand’s Silkyara tunnel, 17 days after they got trapped. The nightly return of the workers made headlines across media outlets and made it to the front pages of almost every newspaper in the country.
Even as photos of the rescue teams populated social media, three newspapers – Hindustan Times, The New Indian Express and Marathi daily Loksatta – made the bewildering choice to print an AI-generated photo of the operation in their editions today.
