New Delhi, June 23 : The news of Ayodhya Dham railway station's boundary wall collapsing after the season's first rainfall spread like wildfire on the social media and drew a slew of reactions from the netizens.

Many expressed shock over the collapse of the boundary wall at the slightest trigger of monsoons, while others raised questions over its durability.

A viral video of the collapsed boundary wall also went viral on the social media, where a portion of it could be seen leaning towards the other side while another small portion being caved in to ground.

The viral claim, meanwhile, has been fact-checked by the Press Information Bureau (PIB), the nodal agency of the government for disseminating information to the media.

The PIB categorically dismissed the claims and termed it 'misleading'.

It says that the boundary wall shown in the video is part of the old railway station.

It further informs that the boundary wall caved in because of the excavation work carried out by a private entity.

Water-logging outside the railway station area is another reason for this, it said.
