Forest min Akbar instructs the officials to take strict action against the misleading video regarding recruitment

Raipur: The Forest Department has issued a warning to candidates about a misleading video circulating on social media regarding recruitment in their department. The department has assured participants that the selection process for the Forest Guard position is being carried out in a fair and transparent manner. After the physical test, candidates will undergo a written test administered by VYAPAM. The final selection list of forest guards will be based on the examination results.

Forest minister Mohammad Akbar has directed the concerned officials to take strict action against the misleading news circulating on social media regarding Forest Guard recruitment. Following his instructions, the range officer of Forest Division Raipur has filed an FIR at Telibandha Police Station, Raipur in this regard. 

The forest department has urged candidates not to be influenced by misleading rumours or the agenda of anti-social elements. They have also encouraged individuals to report any such misleading information to the relevant police station promptly. A misleading video has been circulating on social media since June 15, 2023, in which Mangalam Services, operating in Shubham Corporate Complex, was demanding money in lieu of recruiting forest guards in the forest department.
