Fake news | 15 May, 2020

There's a saying that fake news flies faster than the truth and it's been proved from the first day of the Coronavirus outbreak. All newspapers are carrying stories, articles to spread awareness among people and also giving ideas about how to detect fake information. But some people are again breaking the rules. Recently a news item popped up in social media that the Union Home Minister Amit Shah is suffering from some disease and many have even tweeted for praying his death. The country is currently fighting with the global pandemic. Such rumours should be avoided. Later on the Minister retweeted about his good health and told people to enjoy their imaginary thoughts.
