The MPBOCW said that a fake YouTube channel copied its name and original videos to confuse workers. Many laborers started believing that the fake channel was the real source of government information. The stolen videos were uploaded as official updates which can mislead people who depend on the department for welfare details. Officials warn that such cheating is illegal and harms worker safety. The channel purposely used a similar name to create trust. MPBOCW said this wrongdoing cannot be ignored at any cost.
Minister Orders Quick Action
Labour Minister Prahlad Singh Patel reacted strongly after the issue came to light. He directed immediate complaint filing with the Cyber Cell as well as YouTube to block the fake channel. The department has confirmed that the official channel is only “MPBOCW – Official” and anything else is false. The Minister said that cheating poor workers is a serious crime. Authorities will ensure strict action so that no one can trick people again. The complaint process has already been started without delay.
How To Spot Real Channel
MPBOCW shared clear details for public safety so no one gets fooled. The real channel name is MPBOCW – Official. The fake one uses the name “MPBOCW MADHY PRADESH (@MPBOCW01)” to look real. The wrong channel copies videos and posts them without permission. The Board said people should always check the verified account symbol and official announcements on the real page. Trusting unknown links may lead to danger.
AI Videos Gain Big Popularity
Recently, MPBOCW launched new AI-based short videos and reels to explain worker schemes in very simple language. These videos became popular across the state because laborers could understand benefits quickly. The fake channel tried to take advantage of this popularity. It reposted those videos to increase views and mislead the audience. Officials fear that wrong information about schemes can affect workers’ rights and future support.
Follow Only Verified Platforms
The Board requested everyone to use only its official social media pages. They regularly share updates about registration, documents required, pension, education help, maternity support, accident assistance, and helplines. Fake pages do not have correct information and may vanish anytime after causing trouble. Officials said workers should check the correct logo, spelling, and links before following any account. Awareness is the best way to stay safe online.
Public Support Against Misuse
Authorities said they are receiving public support against the misuse of welfare information. Many people reported the fake channel immediately which helped the department take action faster. Workers now understand that they must share accurate details with others. The Board thanked everyone for remaining alert and acting responsibly. Together the public and officials can stop digital cheating that harms the poor.
Stay Alert, Report Suspicious Content
The MPBOCW warned that new fake pages can appear anytime. So whenever someone sees a strange video or message, they should verify it once on the official platforms. If anything looks suspicious, people should report it directly to the department. Protecting workers’ rights is everyone’s duty and online safety starts with awareness. The Board said truth must reach every worker without any confusion or fraud.
