Earlier this week, a similar fake offer letter claiming that an applicant has been appointed for the post of Grade-1 Assistant Engineer issued by the Ministry of Power had gone viral.
The PIB launched this fact-checking unit in December 2020, to curb such misinformation and viral fake news related to government’s schemes and policies that are circulated on social media platforms.
