Indian Railways Launches @IRFactCheck handle on X (formerly Twitter) to fight against misinformation on Social Media

Ministry of Railways has officially launched @IRFactCheck, a new handle on X (formerly Twitter), dedicated to tackling fake or misleading information related to Indian Railways.

The ministry announced that the handle will serve as an official platform to verify and clarify false claims, rumors, or misleading posts about railway operations, services, and policies.

The post from @RailMinIndia read:

“Introducing @IRFactCheck — the official handle of Indian Railways to counter misinformation. If you come across any misleading or false content about Railways, tag @IRFactCheck to help us keep the facts on track. Follow, stay informed, and share responsibly.”

With misinformation spreading quickly on social media, this move aims to promote transparency and fact-based communication between the Railways and the public.

Users can now tag @IRFactCheck in posts or comments containing questionable information related to the Railways to help ensure that accurate facts reach citizens.
