Railways asks X to remove stampede videos in 36 hrs, cites ethical concerns

The Ministry of Railways has instructed X (formerly Twitter) to remove 285 social media links featuring videos of the February 15 stampede at New Delhi Railway Station, The Hindustan Times reported. This is among the ministry’s first major actions since it was granted direct content takedown powers in December.

Citing ethical concerns and X’s content policies, the ministry issued a notice on February 17, giving the platform 36 hours to comply.
