New Delhi (NVI): A tweet claims that Cabinet has approved the Land Lease Policy to hasten the sale of Container Corporation (CONCOR).

Refuting the claims, the Fact Check Unit of the Press Information Bureau (PIB) has clarified the claim is baseless.

Cabinet has not approved any policy of lease/license by Ministry of Railways.

In a tweet, PIB fact check unit wrote, “Claim: A tweet claims that #Cabinet approved the Land Lease Policy to hasten the sale of Container Corporation (Concor).

#PIBFactCheck: This claim is #Baseless. No policy of lease/license by Ministry of Railways has been approved by the Cabinet in respect of CONCOR.”

The PIB launched this fact-checking unit in December last year, to curb such misinformation and viral fake news related to government’s schemes and policies that are circulated on social media platforms.
