Officials urge citizens to rely on verified sources amid circulation of unconfirmed transport shutdown claims
ISLAMABAD: Claims circulating on social media regarding the closure of PSV vehicles and transport terminals in Islamabad and Rawalpindi remain unverified, with no official confirmation issued by relevant authorities.
Initial reports suggested that a notification had been issued ordering the suspension of public service vehicles and closure of key terminals in the twin cities. However, no credible evidence has surfaced to support these claims, raising concerns about the spread of misinformation online.
Officials from concerned departments have clarified that no formal directive or notification has been released regarding any such shutdown. Authorities emphasized that the circulating content does not reflect any official policy or decision.
The situation highlights the growing challenge of misinformation spreading rapidly through digital platforms, often causing confusion and unnecessary concern among the public.
Citizens have been strongly advised to avoid relying on unverified information and refrain from sharing unconfirmed reports. Authorities urged the public to follow updates only from official government channels and credible news sources.
Experts warn that misinformation, particularly regarding public transport and civic services, can disrupt daily life and create panic if not addressed promptly.
