In recent months, Indian Railways has been increasingly targeted by misleading and incorrect material conveyed via social media platforms, said the Railways in a media statement. According to the railways, these bogus statements are frequently disseminated by social media accounts associated with significant political parties in an attempt to harm their image.
One such occurrence occurred in Sonbhadra district, Uttar Pradesh, where a video of a train compartment falling off the track was misattributed to Indian Railways. The Railways swiftly confirmed that the event occurred at Anira Thamphal station and did not involve any Indian Railways locomotives, tracks, or waggons.
