Fake News Alert: Operation Sindoor – Your Responsibility, Our Nation’s Safety

Fake News Alert: Operation Sindoor – Your Responsibility, Our Nation’s Safety



Operation Sindoor

India has conducted a strong military operation, “Operation Sindoor,” targeting terrorist bases in Pakistan.

As soon as this news broke, social media platforms were flooded with real, fake posts, and others purely for attention. In times like these, the biggest support you can give your country is by sharing only verified and responsible information.

What You Should NOT Do

Don’t Share Fake or Unverified News:

Many pages and channels post edited, misleading, or completely fake news for views and likes. Sharing such content without verification can endanger national security.

Never Share Army Movements or Sensitive Videos: 

Posting or forwarding pictures/videos of our Armed Forces’ real-time movements or locations is a serious breach of security. Your post might unintentionally aid the enemy.

Don’t Spread Rumours, Memes, or Jokes About Attacks:

Making fun or spreading baseless gossip during such tense times is not only insensitive, but it also contributes to disinformation.

What You SHOULD Do

Follow Only Official Sources: 

Trust information from official government handles (PIB, Ministry of Defence), verified news channels, and authorised press releases.

Think Before You Share:

If a post lacks source credibility or seems emotionally manipulative, don’t forward it.

Report Fake News:

If you come across misleading or provocative content, report it on the platform.

While our soldiers are fighting on the front lines, we must become digital soldiers by standing for truth and acting wisely. Make your posts strengthen the nation, not weaken it.

Civil Defence Drill to Boost Emergency Readiness:

Do not post any objectionable post or make any wrong comments on social media regarding the mock drill. Do not spread any misleading false rumours on social media.

A civil defence mock drill will be conducted across the country on May 7 to enhance emergency preparedness after the Pahalgam terror attack. The drill will test air raid warning systems, shelter preparedness and evacuation procedures.

Civil defence volunteers, including NCC cadets, home guards and students, will participate in the simulation to remain prepared for hostile situations. The drill aims to strengthen civil defence preparedness and train volunteers in first aid, evacuation and emergency protocols.

 Verify before you post. Think before you share.
