In order to counter fake news, the Union Information and Broadcasting Ministry has come up with its account on social media platform Telegram.
The account is named as 'PIB Fact Check', which is one of the few government entities to have a telegram channel. It is aimed to verify information related to the Centre and disseminate to its subscribers.
Earlier, fake channels were being run on Telegram in the name of fact check. PIB, along with telegram, got these fraudulent channels removed, said ministry sources.
In November 2019 PIB Fact Check was established and it is the only central government fact-checking arm.
