CBSE has asked people to not believe the rumours being spread through social media platforms regarding the ongoing board exams. Issuing an alert in this direction, CBSE said in its press release, “It has been noticed in the past that certain unscrupulous elements spread rumours by hosting fake videos/messages on YouTube, Face Book, twitter and other Social Media platforms, obviously with the intention of spreading confusion and panic amongst students, parents, schools and public. Through this notice, persons involved in such activities are warned and advised to restrain themselves from such activities. In case, any such information comes to the notice of the CBSE, immediate necessary action as per provisions of law will be taken.”
