Railways Goes Strict Against Misinformation on Social Media

Railway has decided to take strict action against social media handles sharing misleading videos related to the Railways. During this festive season, some social media handles have been circulating old or misleading videos, creating confusion among passengers.

Railway Administration stated that over 20 such social media handles have been identified, and the process of filing FIRs has been initiated. A 24×7  social media monitoring mechanism has been put in place to keep a close watch on such antisocial elements. Railway has appealed to all social media users to refrain from sharing videos of crowds or other incidents at stations without verifying the facts. Passengers are urged to rely only on official Railway notifications and verified social media handles of Ministry of Railways i.e. @RailMinIndia on X(formerly twitter), Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube for authentic information.
