Farmers Agitation: IRCTC Sends Almost 2 Crore Emails In Five Days

New Delhi: The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) has dispatched almost 2 crore emails to its customers from December 8-12 mentioning 13 decisions made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to support the Sikh Community amid farmers’ agitation protesting Centre’s controversial farm laws.

The railway PSU emailed a 47-page booklet to its customers. “PM Modi and his government’s special relationship with Sikh” — as part of the government’s “public interest” outreach to make people aware of the bills and also to squash myths about them,” officials were quoted as saying news agency PTI.

According to the officials, emails were sent to the entire database and were discontinued on December 12. The booklets are in Hindi, English and Punjabi.

The PSU trashed reports that the emails were sent to only members of the Sikh community. “The mails have been sent to all, irrespective of any particular community. This is not the first instance. Earlier also such activities have been undertaken by IRCTC to promote government welfare schemes in public interest,” IRCTC said in an official statement.

“IRCTC sent out 1.9 crore emails in five days till October 12,” a source in the national transporter was quoted as saying by the news agency.
