The police have launched a vigorous operation against those spreading false and baseless news of drone attacks in the city, which is causing unrest and panic.

The police have arrested suspects who provided false, fabricated, and baseless reports of drone attacks to the emergency helpline 15. The arrested suspects had given false reports of attacks at Satluj School and Chaman Zar.

The suspects spreading sensationalism on social media and the helpline 15 based on fake news have admitted their mistake and apologized for providing false information.

The Okara police spokesperson has advised citizens, journalists, and individuals associated with other sectors to verify news with the relevant authorities. He emphasized not to fall for any enemy tactics, to trust in their institutions, and to call the helpline 15 for any essential information.

The Alkhidmat Union Punjab for Retired Police Officers has requested the public of district Okara to refrain from spreading fake news and avoid providing false and baseless news to the helpline 15, as it could lead to legal action and tarnish the reputation of district Okara.

There is a risk of damage from the spread of harassment among the public, and a chaotic situation could arise. It is advised to verify news with the relevant SHO or bomb disposal unit to avoid any trouble later.
