Railway Ministry Warns of Espionage Threat on Military Train Movements

The Railway Ministry has issued a stark warning to its employees to guard against potential espionage attempts by Pakistan intelligence agencies. Asserting that the movement of military trains is sensitive information, the ministry stresses that such details should not be disclosed to unauthorized individuals.

The advisory, released on May 6, comes amid heightened tensions following Indian missile strikes on terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The ministry underscores that revealing military train movements could pose a severe threat to national security.

The Railway Board has alerted Principal Chief Operation Managers across all rail zones, highlighting the risk of intelligence operatives seeking information about military special train movements. The ministry calls on staff to be vigilant and to report any suspicious inquiries regarding military movements to higher authorities.
