New Delhi (NVI): A media report claims that all the trains have been canceled till March 31.

The Fact Check Unit of the Press Information Bureau (PIB) has investigated the report and found it to be old and said that Railway Ministry has not taken this decision.

It further stated that it is old news that is being shared in the wrong context.

Debunking the fake news, PIB took to Twitter and wrote in Hindi, “It is being claimed in a news that all the trains have been canceled till 31 March.

#PIBFactCheck: This news is old. @RailMinIndia has not taken any decision to cancel the train till 31 March 2021. This old news is being shared in the wrong context.”

The Press Information Bureau launched this fact-checking unit in December 2019, to identify misinformation related to the government’s policies and schemes that are circulating on various social media platforms.
