The Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) has opened a Facebook page titled 'RAB - Cyber News Verification Center' to make people aware of false news and rumours surrounding the upcoming general election.
Director General (DG) of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) Benazir Ahmed revealed it at a press conference arranged at the Media Centre of the elite force in city's Karwan Bazar on Thursday to brief journalists regarding their preparation for the 11th parliamentary election.
If anyone becomes confused about any news, he/she will have to share it on the Facebook page and the RAB team will instantly reply after verifying the truth, said the RAB DG.
RAB officials will work round the clock, he added.
A total of 10,000 RAB members have been deployed across the country ahead of the general election, UNB reported quoting the RAB DG.
"If anyone dares to carry out violence in any place of the country, we will obstruct them and the elite force is ready to resist them," he added.
Two Army helicopters will remain standby on the election day, he said adding, "A special force will be kept standby for travelling to any part in the country if needed."
Benazir also requested all to inform RAB members if any kind of violent incident occurs as they can take instant action.
