People should avoid forwarding unauthentic message

Recently these kind of fake news spreading with digital letter format of Indian Government and also with Government authority signature is quite common in India. On social media if anyone receives it, immediately it gets forwarded without verifying the authenticity of the news. It is unethical behaviour of an Indian Citizen. Receiving legitimate news from authentic News agency should be trusted and forwarded on social media.

Don’t Trust without verifying

In this digital world lot of rumours can be spread by timepassers in social media (like Whatsapp, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.) to get more likes and follows. As an India Citizen any such message received on social media should not be trusted until unless it is cross verified with authentic News forums.

Beware of such fake news.
