DATA ROUNDUP English, Fake News # Indian Railways cancelling all passenger train services in March 2020 shared as recent decision 0 By Dilip Kumar Sripada on March 16, 2021 * A A A Twitter Facebook Reddit A video of an ‘ABP’ news bulletin is being shared on social media claiming that the Indian Railways had decided to cancel all passenger train services till 31 March 2021. Let’s verify the claim made in the post. ![\\"\\"](\\" Cancels-all-train-services-till-March-31-Claim.jpg\\")The archived version of this post can be found here > Claim: Indian Railways cancelled all train services till 31 March 2021. > > Fact: This ABP news bulletin was telecast last year on 22 March 2020.

The Government of India took this decision on the Janata Curfew day that was imposed in the country on 22 March 2020. Piyush Goyal, the Union Minister for Railways shared this information on his Twitter handle.
