Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation Ltd (IRCTC), which provides railway ticketing services, denied Congress' claims that thousands of Indians cancelled their tickets following the unfortunate accident in Odisha and termed it as factually incorrect.
"This is factually incorrect. Cancellations have not increased. On the contrary, cancellations have reduced from 7.7 Lakh on June 1, 2023 to 7.5 Lakh on June 3, 2023," IRCTC tweeted June 6. Congress leader and former Union Minister Bhakta Charan Das, at a press conference on June 5, claimed thousands of people have cancelled their tickets after the accident and said they were not feeling safe to travel.
