Speaking to the gathering, the SP informed that when we have received messages through WhatsApp we just share or forward without checking and verifying properly. Sometimes it may be fake news and sometimes that news might be instigating the public. He urged the citizens to check its veracity whether it is true or not whenever receiving any messages. As a responsible citizen, we should not forward messages or videos without checking whether they are true or false.
An interaction with citizens regarding “Safer Internet Day’ was also conducted as part of the workshop.
