Punjab DGP warns against rumours on coronavirus
Chandigarh, March 21 (SocialNews.XYZ) Taking strong note of the unsubstantiated rumours and fake news being spread on the COVID-19 pandemic, Punjab DGP Dinkar Gupta on Saturday strictly warned that those found guilty of indulging in such acts will be penalized and dealt with under the relevant provisions of the law.

In an advisory issued here, the DGP warned people against spreading baseless rumours and falsehood, with a series of Dos and Don'ts against using mobile phones and social media platforms to spread mischievous and unsubstantiated information, which can create unnecessary panic and hardship to all around.

These are tools that help keep everyone connected and informed, he said, warning people against just sending forwards, or posting and spreading fake news.

 

Gupta requested the general public not to create panic and unrest through malicious forwards and social media posts.
