Mangaluru: Konkan Railway Corporation has issued a warning against fraudulent recruitment cases after it came to light that certain unscrupulous elements misled job aspirants by falsely promising to provide jobs in the company in exchange for money.

The corporation has clarified that it has not authorised any person, agent or agency to collect money, provide employment or make any job-related assurances on its behalf. All recruitments in Konkan Railway are carried out strictly in accordance with prescribed rules and procedures through official channels only, the company said.

The public have been advised not to believe or engage with any individual, agent or middleman claiming to guarantee jobs in Konkan Railway.
