The PIB on Social Media platform X shared, “A Fake notice issued in the name of Railway Ministry regarding recruitment of sub-inspector and constable in Railway Protection Forces is circulating on Social Media”. The tweet also mentions that no such notice has been issued by Railway Ministry.
Recently, a Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) notification informing over 1 Lakh Group D vacancies was also got viral on social media. Since RRB hadn’t posted any such information on its official website, the recruitment notification looks fraudulent and looks like a con job by people who wanted to get some easy clicks for their website.
