Mumbai, August 24: Did the Railway Ministry discontinue counter train tickets, leaving passengers without any way to book travel? A video circulating on YouTube, posted three weeks ago by the channel "a1studies1210," claims that a new rule has been implemented, preventing the issuance of train tickets. The video has received 329 views so far and appears to suggest that passengers can no longer obtain tickets either at counters or online, creating confusion among viewers.

The claim in the video has prompted many to question the current status of railway ticketing services. However, there is no official notification or press release from the Ministry of Railways confirming such a move. The video lacks any credible references, and any official source does not back its content. Furthermore, no government circular has announced the discontinuation of tickets, making the claim highly misleading. Did SBI Ask Customers To Redeem Reward Points Worth INR 9,980 via Message?
