Railways denied
While advising the passengers not to believe such reports, the railways has said that the luggage policy of the railways is 10 years old and accordingly railway passengers can take luggage with them.

But now the Railways has presented its clarification on this news.
Railway told the truth
Railways has shared a post on the social media platform ‘Twitter’, in which it has been told that what is the truth of the news? Railway has written in its post, ‘A news has been published on some social media platforms and digital news channels that in the last few days, the policy of carry-on baggage has been changed by the Railways. In this regard, it is clarified that no circular or order has been issued by Indian Railways in this regard. The present policy is very old and is in effect for more than 10 years.
