Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has instructed the police to file an FIR over a fake government circular that was circulating widely on social media. The document, which contained misleading information about government policies, caused panic and confusion among the public. Officials believe that the false circular was deliberately created to spread misinformation and disrupt governance.
The Uttarakhand Police’s cybercrime unit has been assigned to track down the origin of the fake circular and identify those responsible. CM Dhami has urged citizens to rely only on official government sources for information and warned against sharing unverified content. The administration is now working on stricter regulations to combat the spread of fake news.
