Here is a request. Let us make it a point to check the veracity and truth in a news story before we share it. It includes news of bomb threats, viruses, whatsapp crashing if you dont share it and things like that. The story that has been doing the rounds for ages is the Imtinef Mercilet story that has been shared to the high heavens. Approx 4 years ago The Adyar Cancer Institute clarified that there is no such drug available for free and it appeared in TOI. Can we all stop sharing this piece of absurdity as news? People from remote areas in India travel to Chennai in the hope that theyll get free one-pill cure for blood cancer. We all have smart phone and all it takes is to Google and see if a news story is true. Most of the shock-value news that we attempt to share in our race to be the first to break news to our own social circle are false. Let us be accountable. Let us be a little more responsible.
