 "DMRC allows 2 sealed liquor bottles in Delhi Metro, netizens ask to 'share notification'")
With over two decades of operation in Delhi-NCR, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has never failed to impress people. At the start, with its high-speed and steeply laid tracks over the capital and now, in the age of social media, its ever-changing regulations. But why do the rules keep evolving? Well, intriguing travellers from different parts of the country are to blame. In a similar unfolding of sorts, DMRC announced in a query on Twitter that two sealed bottles of alcohol are now allowed in the Delhi Metro. However, the rail authority also clarified that ‘drinking alcohol inside metro premises is still strictly prohibited.’
DMRC said: “Metro passengers are requested to maintain proper decorum while travelling. If any passenger is found behaving in an indecent manner under the influence of alcohol, suitable action shall be taken under the relevant provisions of law,” according to ANI.
The post attracted interest as until now, only the Delhi Airport Express Line or Orange Line, which connects the Delhi Metro line to the Indira Gandhi International Airport from New Delhi Metro Station to Dwarka Sector 21, allowed to carry liquor.
A committee comprising CISF and DMRC officials reviewed the earlier order, as per ANI.

The tweet also attracted many humorous responses.
Check out some of the comments below:
One user warned about the allowance’s repercussions. He wrote: “This should not be allowed as Indians flout rules. This may create a ruckus as people drink from those bottles once inside the Metro.”

This prompted one of the users to share a screenshot of an earlier conversation with the DMRC. The Twitter user captioned his post with four question marks.
The user was quick to point out Delhi Metro’s earlier reply to various people on the same subject. It read: “Hi Manish, thank you for reaching out. Carrying alcohol inside Delhi Metro is not allowed.” Similarly, in another tweet: “Replying to @sumitrana54 Hi Sumit, thank you for contacting us. Raw meat/non-Veg is only allowed inside Delhi Metro if it is sealed packed. Further, alcohol is not permissible inside Delhi Metro.”

They claimed they had taken a screenshot of the same in case trouble would arise in the future. A user wrote: “I hope security officials know about this mandate.” I have taken a screenshot of this and will show them next time.” https://twitter.com/neo2992/status/1674666968417435651
Others, however, asked for official notification.
“Could you please share the notification regarding it?" asked one user.
