In another news, it has been claimed that from December 1, the operations of all trains in the country will be stopped once again. A message about this on WhatsApp and social media is going viral. It has also been said in this message that the special trains announced by the government during the Corona period will also be closed. This claim also turned out to be fake in PIB’s Fact Check.
