The Ministry of Railways on Saturday debunked a notification going viral about recruitment for at least 20,000 posts of constable in the Railway Protection Force.

“It is informed for the guidance of all concerned that no such notification has been issued by RPF or Ministry of Railways on their official websites or through any print or electronic media,” the notification clarified.
