New Delhi : The Press Information Bureau (PIB) fact check unit on Friday busted the misinformation in an advertisement, allegedly shared by Indian Railways, about the vacancies being offered for the posts of Assistant Loco Pilot and Technicians, saying that no such notification has been issued by the railways.

Taking to social media platform, X, the PIB Fact Check said, “An advertisement doing the rounds on social media claims that around 29,000 vacancies are being offered for the posts of Assistant Loco Pilot and Technicians by the Indian Railways. This claim is #fake No such advertisement has been issued by @RailMinIndia.”
