New Delhi (NVI): A fake news is circulating across India through Whatsapp messenger app regarding movement restriction being imposed in the country, said Press Information Bureau (PIB).
Taking to twitter, a government news agency said that the government of India has not issued any such press release which stated that the movement restriction has been imposed on all the citizens post March 18 in the wake of coronavirus outbreak.
“This press release has not been issued by the National Security Council of Government of #India. It is being circulated with mischievous intentions, to create panic. Pl do not fall prey to such attempts,” PIB tweeted.
However, the press release from National Security Council that all Whatsapp groups are circulating claiming it to be from India, is actually a press release issued by Malaysian government not the Indian government.
