Citing worries of public upheaval and ethical standards, the Ministry of Railways, under Ashwini Vaishnaw, instructed X (previously Twitter) to erase 285 videos showing a rush at New Delhi Railway Station on February 17, 2025. Under Indian law, though, the Railway Ministry lacks the power to order content removal from social media sites. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) is designated as the appropriate authority for such acts by the Information Technology Act, 2000 and its later 2021 IT Guidelines. Without clauses allowing for online content control, the Railways Act, 1989, concentrates on train operations and safety. Apart from surpassing its legal authority, this overreach by the Railway Ministry distorts focus from urgent concerns such railway safety and responsibility.
