A video of a group of Indian Army jawans and police personnel pushing a train is going viral on social media. Those circulating the video claimed that Indian Army's soldiers and cops had pushed the train after it halted midway. However, the government on July 10 clarified that the train had not halted. A fire broke out in Howrah-Secunderabad Falaknuma Express in Telangana's Yadadri Bhongir district on July 7. In a tweet, PIB Fact Check, government's fact-checking agency, said that the authorities had sent an engine to separate compartments of┬аFalaknuma Express from fire-affected bogies. However, security personnel did not wait for the engine and separated train compartments from bogies engulfed in flames; thus preventing major tragedy. The video of the incident is being shared with a misleading context that the train had halted, said the PIB Fact Check.┬аIndian Army Jawans Continue Patrolling at Last Post at an Altitude of 7,200 Feet in Jammu and Kashmir Amid Heavy Snowfall (Watch Video).
