Though social media has become an inevitable part of our lives, can we be dependent on that? The spreading of misinformation on social media is not new. Every day we read a bunch of things online and on social media which may happen to be true, but often not. A similar incident came to light when the Press Information Bureau (PIB) on Monday evening confirmed that the notification being circulated on various media platforms regarding the Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs) about the recruitment for Sub Inspector (SI) and constable vacancies in the Railway Protection Force (RPF) is fake.
The fake notice claimed RRBs were going to recruit for 4660 vacancies in the RPf-452 Sub Inspectors and 4208 for the constable’s post. The notice also claimed that the application window will be operational from April 15 to May 14.
PIB Fact Check posted on X saying, “A #Fake notice issued in name of Railway Ministry regarding recruitment of sub-inspector & constable in Railway Protection force is circulating on social media…No such notice has been issued by @RailMinIndia…Never share your personal/ financial information,”
The PIB fact check cautioned the government job seekers not to fall prey to any misleading and false information shared on social media. PIB urged the aspirants they always verify such news through the official website of the recruiting organisation.
