DMRC Increases Vigilance to Prevent 'Objectionable Acts' in the Delhi Metro

Published November 20, 2023

Recently, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has seen a surge in its efforts to enforce decorum and public decency within the confines of the capital city's metro system. A series of unsuitable videos filmed within metro trains and stations have sparked viral attention, compelling the DMRC to take definitive action. The increase in patrol and surprise checks by authorities is a direct response to these incidents, which have raised concerns about the behavior of commuters on the city's primary mode of public transportation.

DMRC's Call for Public Decorum

DMRC's managing director, Vikas Kumar, has issued a stark appeal to the public, urging commuters to maintain appropriate behavior while using the metro services. Measures to deter 'objectionable acts' are being actively implemented, aiming to sustain the metro's reputation as a safe and reliable service. Videos showcasing such acts have not only caused a public outcry but have also highlighted the need for stricter monitoring within the metro premises, prompting this robust response from the corporation.

Enhanced Measures to Ensure Safety

As part of its renewed vigilance, the DMRC has expanded the frequency of surprise checks by metro officers. These unannounced inspections serve as a deterrent and a means to enforce the rules pertaining to public conduct. The efforts include an array of strategies such as the deployment of additional security personnel and the utilization of technology to monitor and promptly respond to any infractions. It's an initiative to affirm that the metro remains a secure environment for all riders, and that the DMRC actively eschews any behavior that compromises the integrity of the Delhi Metro service.
