Original review summary

FACTLY reports that the video was filmed at Mongla Ghat in Bangladesh, which it says has no geographical connection to West Bengal or India. It identifies the people in the video as garment workers who regularly travel to work, and says the river crossings are part of local daily routines, not a political event in India.[S1]
