Breaking News: UP Government Bans Photography and Videography at Railway Stations After Espionage Case

In the wake of the arrest of suspected spy Jyoti Malhotra, the Uttar Pradesh government has taken a significant step to strengthen security across the state’s railway network. Authorities have announced a complete ban on photography and videography at all railway stations in Uttar Pradesh without official permission. This decision comes after surveillance videos surfaced showing individuals recording videos at stations and allegedly sharing sensitive information on social media and even with foreign entities like Pakistan. In response, the railway administration has tightened monitoring at key stations and issued strict guidelines prohibiting the creation of reels or any kind of recording on railway premises. According to officials, stations in sensitive and religious locations such as Mathura, Ayodhya, Prayagraj, Lucknow, and Kanpur have been marked for heightened security. The administration clarified that anyone wishing to conduct photography or videography for official or creative purposes must obtain prior approval from railway authorities. This move is part of broader efforts to prevent potential espionage and ensure the safety of critical infrastructure. The railway department is on high alert and has emphasized that violators will face legal action. The government’s action underlines the growing concern over internal security breaches linked to unauthorized video recordings.
