Guwahati: A fabricated message circulating on social media platforms about permanent job appointments in the Assam Water Resources Department has sparked widespread confusion and concern among contractual employees and the general public.

The department has reiterated its commitment to transparency, assuring that all employment-related information will be communicated through legitimate, authorized platforms. The minister stated, “No new appointments have been announced by the department. Any updates will be shared only through official government channels.”
The public is advised to rely on official government channels for information on job appointments and other departmental updates. The department’s swift action aims to prevent further misinformation and ensure that job seekers are not misled by false claims.
