Officials from Salem Railway Division said that all COVID- 19 safety protocols were being followed at railway stations under the division and advised the public not to believe fake messages on crowding at railway junctions. A. Gautam Srinivas, Salem Division Railway Manager, told presspersons that fake messages and videos on crowding at railway stations were creating panic among the public. He said videos from the lockdown period last year had been shared as if these were current instances. Mr. Srinivas said there was no crowding and that all the existing train services would continue, sufficient seats/berths were available. There was good patronage for the services and additional trains would be provided if required.
