The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Chief Vikas Kumar on Sunday appealed to people to refrain from engaging in objectionable activities and asserted that steps are being taken to curb such incidents. He added that squads do surprise checks from time to time and the DMRC is trying their best to check these activities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Notably, Delhi metro is famous for viral videos. Some metro riders seeking fame have often resorted to gyrating on some popular numbers inside train coaches or at platforms, while someone else filmed it. In some other cases, videos have emerged on social media platforms such as Instagram where young couples have been filmed getting intimate in a train.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking to PTI, Vikas Kumar, the managing director of the DMRC said that security personnel cannot be posted everywhere on the metro premises and urged passengers to report such incidents to authorities. He added that they first try to counsel such people who resort to such activities. Consecutively, they appeal to those people to refrain from engaging in such objectionable activities for the good of society. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He noted that a person cannot be present everywhere and that it is a responsibility of citizens also that if they see such objectionable activities, they should catch hold of such people and bring it to the notice of authorities. Vikas Kumar mentioned that there are designated squads in place, which do surprise checks from time to time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reports said that while the CISF is tasked with guarding the premises of Delhi Metro stations, there are DMRC squad members in civvies who conduct checks for any violation of norms, including men entering into coaches reserved for women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation has in the recent past sought to raise awareness about such issues using both social media campaigns and outdoor publicity. At many metro stations, huge posters, bearing rather creative content, appeal to riders to not make reels in metro premises and cause inconvenience to fellow passengers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
